What are these "verb-nouns" and how are they used? Are they things that translate as, say, "eat a sandwich" or are they words that can be either noun or verb depending on context, like English words such as "walk", "water", "drink", etc.? -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
