Description
In Euroenglish and possibly in Indian English there are English gerunds (or present participles) used as nouns that are not used in standard English. They can even takes plurals:
- "parkings" → car parks, parking lots, etc.
- (There must be others that are not springing to mind right now...)
There's also at least one that's becoming normalized into native speaker English that other native speakers object to:
- "trainings" → courses, training sessions, etc.
Many others are standard English but will be in the dictionary:
- findings
- killings
- openings
- tapings
- viewings
