 Replying to [comment:8 johnbillion]:
 > but arguing against it when [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook
 /best-practices/spelling/ the project's own best practices reminds people
 that install is not a noun] is not productive

 Many of the "best practices" are wrong in a number of ways, this is but
 one more of them.

 I also don't believe in best practices, style guides, language norms, and
 like 90% of automated testing. Do you want to have debates about each of
 those things too? I don't.

 > neither is this the correct venue for such an argument.

 Then bring it up for discussion or debate in the proper setting and I'll
 be happy to continually tell you that you are wrong there instead.

 Until that happens, I disagree, I will state so when it is brought up, and
 I only will argue about it if argued back against. You don't see me
 preventing changes, or reverting commits, or anything of that sort. But
 you also will not see me making patches for changes I disagree with.

 I was perfectly happy to simply tell you that yes, install is a noun.
 Nothing more complicated than that.
