“Listing” vs. “List”

I frequently hear these used interchangeably.

Problem:
The nouns “listing” and “list” are not synonyms.

Explanation:
“List” describes an ordered set of items. “Listing” describes the process of creating a list.

Solution:
Use “list” when you want to describe an ordered set of items.
Use “listing” when you want to describe the process of creating a list.
