My sister just asked me if I could name any nouns that were both proper and abstract. Her English teacher gave homework to find some, but I can't think of any. I mean, an abstract noun is one that you can't see or touch, etc....so there would be none of those considered important enough to capitalize, right?

Can anyone think of some?

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion.
