Wow, getting ready to go through my daily change, a thought came to mind: “if there are anymore “W” quarters out there in circulation to be found, they’ll probably have all sorts of wear & tear on them”. I must have a 6th sense. Not even a minute later, as that famous song goes: “Do you see what I see….” last time I found one of these was during the 4th Of July weekend 2022 I spent in Wendover, Utah. Found this lovely specimen in my change today. So, they are still out there to be found, and in good condition to boot.
Really? I'd call the privy a common noun. What is a noun? Nouns make up the largest class of words in most languages, including English. A noun is a word that refers to a thing (book), a person (Noah Webster), an animal (cat), a place (Omaha), a quality (softness), an idea (justice), or an action (yodeling). It's usually a single word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns. There are a number of different categories of nouns. There are common nouns and proper nouns. A common noun refers to a person, place, or thing but is not the name of a particular person, place, or thing. Examples are animal, sunlight, and happiness. A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, or thing; it usually begins with a capital letter: Abraham Lincoln, Argentina, and World War I are all proper nouns.
