The word MOTHER!

Can be used as a common or Proper noun!

It doesn't seem right mother is common!

It would be nice,

If Mother was always used in a PROPER way! ... Misha

A Questionable Guide to to the English Language, Part 2

A noun is a word (other than a pronoun) that identifies a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun (or a noun phrase) is always the subject of the sentence, which is attached to the sentence’s predicate.

A common noun is a noun that identifies a class or type of person, place, thing, or idea, such as firefighter, house, car, or freedom. Often, it refers to the thing in general rather than one in particular. An exception to this is when the noun is preceded by a definite determiner, such as the, this, that, or those; in this case, which one the noun refers to is dependent on context.

A proper noun is a noun that identifies an individual person, place, or organization, such as Mary, London, or Nintendo. Unlike common nouns, proper nouns cannot take definite determiners. In English, proper nouns are written with the first letter capitalized.

A pronoun is a noun with a positive charge. As mentioned earlier, it is does not identify a person, place, or thing, as a result of its charge. Compare with neunoun, which has no charge, and elecnoun, which has a negative charge.

using the power of (incomplete) statistics I have concluded that their most commonly used name is actually Little One and we should all be calling them that and it won't get confusing ever /j

thinking about the intimacy of names in house md. to house wilson is always wilson, occasionally jimmy; never james. the first major character who goes primarily by her first name is stacy; she’s also the only main character to consistently call house ‘greg’. we all know how it ends. thirteen’s real name is revealed in the same two-part special where she tests herself for huntington’s. the first explanation house comes up with for why kutner killed himself was the identity crisis caused by switching from choudhary to kutner. amber’s fate is sealed the moment cut-throat bitch never quite catches on and she reappears as wilson’s girlfriend to call house ‘greg’ with a smile. chase and cameron never quite break out of the habit of referring to each other by their surnames even after marriage and so of course things never work out.

Hi! If requests are still open, can I request a common marmoset monkey? Or a monkey in general, if that is too specific?

This... is not very good, and I'm sorry. I couldn't figure out how to get the shape right, nor the fur pattern.

my notes:

my overall interpretation of this song is "I'm trying to break through the friend zone (friendship barrier) so that you like me instead of thinking of me as a friend", so any vagueness in translation went in that direction

The use of "lock horns" in the official translation snippet + the HAO motifs give me the mental image of like, a hand-to-hand kung fu battle, so I leaned towards that imagery whenever there was vagueness (as opposed to like, a military campaign, for example)

deco's official english translations tend to be very liberal, so i tried to keep my translation a little more literal

Giggling at the idea of Will learning Italian and in his adventures at Piazza San Marco listening to couples on the benches starts picking up new pet names.

Out of nowhere, he begins calling Nico "patato" catching him off guard as he turns with a questioning look "Where did that come from?" but he was unable to hold back a smile. Will shrugs "Secret, amo"

"Will, please stop" he starts laughing, being embraced by his boyfriend "Make me, tesoro"

"Taci" he replied with a smile, wrapping his arms around Will neck, their lips meeting in a lovely kiss
