The question here is what is the meaning of the two:
- Scan Method
- Scanning Method
My assumption is that the interpretations are, respectively:
- A method which describes how the scanning procedure is performed.
- A method which has the inherent ability to scan.
While this sounds logical to me, it was pointed out by a colleague that counter-examples exist. For example:
- Swimming Pool
- Parking Place
What, then, is the correct usage pattern in all of these cases?
