Wait Vs Waiting
Dear teachers,
I was at a medical clinic. I was asked to wait at an area called "Wait E".
I was wondering, shouldn't it have been "Waiting Room/Area E" or maybe even "Waiting E"?
I understand that "Wait" is both a noun and a verb but the noun form is not, to the best of my knowledge, used like "Waiting (area)".
Am I right?
