nothing. i swear that is such an oxymoron. i mean nothing can never really be nothing, right? nothing is something-it's nothing, which is something (like i said a second ago), simply because it is. the "is" implies that it is being something, inanimate or not. how about a dictionary definition,non? i'm a big fan of my dictionary. the front cover is falling off and i', still too attached to it to by another one. anyways here's a definition: NOTHING-1. n no thing, not anything at all... okay so they say that it is nothing- which it is but, it has to be something otherwise how could they classify it as a part of speechh? I mean it's a fucking noun. nouns are the royalty of grammar. those and verbs. verbs are nothing without nouns and nouns are lifeless without verbs. a consistant co-dependency of the opposites that is apparent in several other aspects of life.... "to and fro, stop and go, that's what makes the world go 'round". nothing's a noun. it is something, so next time you come across "nothing", pay your goddamn respects. what if i denied your existence and swore by it. you'd be pretty fucking pissed. i would too. perhaps i should start capitalizing the beginnning of sentences....
