    Cool accepting vs acceptation

    hi gang!!!!!

    I was reding an article and I found the next...

    "...I know this is not where you're going, but southwest Canada - Victoria andVancouver - is great for barefooting. Perhaps other parts have the same accepting attitude...."

    In this text I can say "...the same acceptation attitude..."

    because I think that accepting is working here like a noun, and acceptation is a noun too...

    I would really appreciate your commnets....

    It doesn't work for me- it's an adjective describing the attitude IMO.

    You say words ending with 'ing' are continuous tense but what do you call when it ends with 'ion'?
