 |  
							| Hi,   I need your help please.     What is the difference between use  ( as a noun   from the verb use )and using?     Is there any difference in use or can we use the interchangeably ?       Thanks in advance, Noor |  26 Dec 2009

							| The use of the word  �using � as the subject of the sentence would seem unusual in this sentence. 
 Using the word  �using � emphasizes the action of using it.
 
 Using the word  �use, � empahsizes the usage.
