pro-anything

English is largely regarded as having 8 parts of speech. Pronouns are agreed
to be one of them, but a discussion on AUE revealed that EVERY part of
speech has its corresponding pro-part of speech. To whit:

pronouns
    personal (I)
    locative (here)

pro-adverbs
    method (thus, so, xxx, how)

pro-adjectives
    type (this/that/yon/what kind of)

pro-verbs
    to do (who killed the taxman? he did it!)
    to be (Who is lying on the floor? He is!)


Comments? Does anyone feel they can use this revelation in a conlang?
