proper noun
0 Hi, 02 br

00 According to the Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's English Dictionary, N-PROPER, which I think means (notes) "Proper Noun", is noted as follows: 02 br
02 br
00 A proper noun refers to one person, place, thing or institution, and begins with a capital letter. Many proper nouns are used without a determiner. 02 br
02 br
00 Does the definition point to the fact that a proper noun has to be both a unique being, thing or entity and has to begin with a capital letter before it can be called (designated) a proper noun or is it sufficient if only that one is unique and the capitalization part will come later after it is 01 u 00 deemed to be 02 u 00 a proper noun? 02 br
02 br
00 (Did I wrote the underlined part correctly?) 02 br
02 br
00 Can I then say "I need to see my Father," since there is only one father you are born from (under??)? 0-

0 Nouns are capitalized 01 b 00 because 02 b 00 they are proper nouns, and 01 i 00 my Father 02 i 00 should read 01 i 00 my father 02 i 00 , because the pronomial makes 01 i 00 father 02 i 00 generic ( 01 u 00 everyone 02 u 00 has one father). 0-
