I would still never think of it as a noun, though. Even now, i have lost "getting it" like I did seconds ago.
What if the sentence was: "You make walking fun". Isn't that different? Isn't that a straight verb?  If so, why is "loving" different?
Edit: I see by reading your Wikipedia that it is kind of complicated, and I should probably use that as the full explanation, instead of bugging you. It's pretty explicit, in theory it should explain it to me, though you are explaining it more simply.
Also, I am uncomfortably reminded of my mom right now, so... |
"walking" would function the same way as "loving." for some reason, i cannot figure out what part of the sentence "loving" is functioning as in "YMLF," or i'm sure i could be more succinct. but i'm pretty braindead right now.
