“Grouping” & “Clubbing” – can I use them interchangeably?
Hi friends,

“Grouping” and “Clubbing” – can I use them interchangeably?

Is it correct to call a process of arranging things into groups "clubbing"?

e.g. you have to club these items together.

Thanks in advance,

Answer

In American English, the most common meaning of “clubbing” is “to go out to a nightclub.”   “Grouping” doesn’t have this meaning at all, but simply means “to arrange [something] into groups.”

Answer

Mostly, NOT. As per my understanding, to group is to make a pool of something while club is to attach one with other.
