Its 1st line is, "All children, except one, grow up."
Is this word 'one' after except is not a noun? or it is noun?

In the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle passage (10:24), why is "nothing" (last sentence), not a noun?
0 answers
Post by Professor Hendershot on September 17, 2012
"Sort" has a variety of meanings in English. It's most commonly used as a noun when it's a synonym for "variety" or "type" (as in "that sort of plant", etc.). In this case, "sort" is describing an idea, and it's not taking the place of another noun (which would make it a pronoun), and so it must be a noun.
Similarly, "lot" and "difficulty" describe abstract concepts. Because English uses nouns to describe persons, places, things, or ideas, idea-words are nouns. "Things", of course, describes things!
Just because a term isn't specific doesn't mean it's not a noun. While your English teacher has probably told you to use specific nouns whenever possible, and it IS better to use more specific terms, sometimes vague terms are the best we can do. Vague nouns are still nouns. Nouns are good for everything!
Does that answer your question?
