Actually, a noun is the name of person, place, thing or idea. Love is a noun. Nouns can be subdivided into Proper nouns (Nanaea), common nouns (forum), and pronouns (which take the place of noun - he, she, it - etc.) I made sure my kids all memorized that first sentence. Do I pass, Mad?
And just to be on topic...
I have thought about going back and finishing my degree one of these days. I'm hoping to become an IBCLC eventually.
