One is a noun and the other is a verb! These things are not interchangeable!

And in the very deepest part of the night, I whisper to myself that there are times when the usual noun is properly a verb, and the usual verb is properly a noun ... for we must preserve these truths and keep them sacred, discussing them only amongst our fellow true Grammar Pedants, knowing that the common fan is yet unenlightened and would only be led astray by such arcane mysteries.

And on a less silly and yet equally OT note: Props to [livejournal.com profile] friendshipper for wielding both words so accurately that I didn't even notice them! (That is meant quite sincerely.)
