- iskela 3y agoIs it an application?
- meepmorp 3y agoIs it a software?
- vxNsr 3y agoIsn’t it? I would call it a web app.
- taskforcegemini 3y agoyes. calling it "a application" is imho a lot worse than using "a software"
- bdsa 3y agoI'm pretty sure the ellipsis replaces another word... "a productivity application" or whatever
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 3y agoPeople in my current industry (healthcare/biotech) often use the terminology "a software" and "these softwares." It irked me at first but eventually I got used to it. I think it's because every piece of validated software that our company uses, however small, is assigned a unique number (e.g. "SW12345"). They're not all full-blown applications, so we can't call them that. Sometimes they're tiny programs or even just scripts. Anyway, it's possible the person that wrote this has a background in a similar industry.
