It really is a lost cause, though; the English language just works that way. We use nouns as verbs, nouns as modifiers, adjectives as nouns; and rather than wish it were not so, we must to take care to express ourselves to avoid unintended ambiguity — especially in writing. And *especially* in writing terse formal error messages. The English language is imperfect, but it's what we have.
