They can't tell you the parts of speech, but they can tell you that "Me is sick" and "Bob taked the gun" are both incorrect. It's just that being a total language geek, hearing someone say that "pronoun" means "proper noun" made me cringe. :) I'm sure a geography nut would cringe if they asked me to pinpoint something and I put it on the other side of the continent, which, by the way, is highly plausible. pelf: Yeah, I actually think a lot of people are like that.

I only know my adjectives and verbs. And whenever somebody asks why I used "this and this" instead of "that-and-that", I just tell them "because it sounds nicer that way".
