Don’t let Player bother you, Xain.  Most of us have learned by now to ignore 80% of what he says, and take the rest with a grain of salt.

This idea reminds me of a beautiful story by Borges, “Tlon Uqbar Orbis Tertius”.  It’s about a totally fictional planet that was invented by a group of scholars.  The language of Tlon was said to have no nouns either.  They supposedly spoke in verbs and adjectives.  I suppose that a whole nation of poets could bring that off, but for most of us language is just a rough approximation of thought anyway.  Nouns are essential to make ourselves understood.
