0Thank you so much. As I asked originally, are they just the rules of law that have been enacted by a body of scholars in semantics or linguistics or what? How can a noun be designated as a proper noun? A noun just does not appear as a proper noun naturally or does it? I am not too keen on its biological origin. Help. As you can surmise, I don't have a major in Biology.02br

0Maybe people who have spent more time studying linguistics can provide a comment on this, but it seems more common that proper names become generic than the other way around. 02br

00And yes, you can say "I didn't major in Biology," and in fact it sounds more natural than "I don't have a major in Biology."0-
