(for example, Exprimentation of a software) + Can I call the enterprise, in which I did my internship, the "host" company ? or is there a more convenient compound noun? Best Regards. chflb Joined on Wed, Sep 10 2008 New Member 07 Nouns, Regards, Context

	Patrick Lockerby  +  766376 Fri, 05 Jun 09 11:31 AM I would refer to 'experimenting with software' or 'experimenting with a piece of software'. 'experiments with software' or 'experiments with a piece of software'. 'an experiment with software' or 'an experiment with a piece of software'. Also, experiments / experimenting with a program. The term 'host' in IT would lead people to think of a host computer. Perhaps the word you need is 'sponsor'. My sponsor. - a person or organisation. My sponsors. - any two or more persons and / or organisations. Patrick Lockerby Joined on Sat, May 23 2009 Full Member 126 Patrick
