"BOARD" is a noun. If you reduced it to a pronoun it would, most likely, be it (depends on usage in the sentence). Proper nouns are distinguished from COMMON nouns in that they name something specific and, duh, begin with a capital letter.
Common noun: "The dog is cute." Proper noun: "Snoopy is cute."
Common noun: "Someone hit me with a board the other day." Proper noun: "I like to write on the JP.com Board!"
"Board," by any stretch of the imagination isn't a pronoun. If you can get a definite article "the" in front, you have a NOUN! The board. (Quoting Message by ronhartsell from Sunday, October 26, 2008 11:10:26 AM)

I always wondered if the 'b' in board should be capitalized or not. My thinking was if I used the word by itself, it shouldn't be. But if using it in reference to a specific place (ie Priest Board or welcome to the Board) it should be capitalized.
I've done both, so I figure I'm batting .500 What is the rule for this? [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Sunday, October 26, 2008 10:15:50 AM)

Bars here can be pretty wierd....there's the ones for the tourists, then others for locals, then the places bikers are allowed...and they are the best. I used to dress 'normal' but no more....not gonna deny my inner self. Moving back 'home' is gonna feel wierd...

Actually Ron, the cockles of my heart is an old expression that you may remember. I believe it is derived from the latin for one's heart chambers which , I believe, resemble the shellfish Necro mentioned.

| Yes, we have discussed this in the past. As my family owned cafes for many years, I too grew up around food . It is a passion for me as well. I think that is why you and I get on so well. More common interests! |
