Nouns are fine, it's capital nouns that have to go

Pronouns are fine. But I am fully against proverbs.

What are your thoughts on pro-verbs?

spoilerFor those who don't wanna read through an entire wiki page...

Pronoun usage:

Did Bob go?

Bob went -> He went

Pro-verb usage:

Did Bob go?

Bob went -> Bob did

tony hawk's pro nouns

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I imagine amateur nouns to be neopronouns nobody has used yet, like fwe/fwem or bree/bur. They go pro as soon as somebody uses them.
