It can be 11, 12, or 13 letters long, as noted in my hint. And Hellflame: A noun is a person/animal, place, or thing. All those words are descriptive or action words; adjectives and verbs.
Actually, Mark, some of those are processes, which means that they are technically nouns. Are you including gerunds in the category "noun" as well? I know, I know, I'm being a technical bitch and you'll hate me for this, but being a journalism major means that I have to know the technicalities of grammar. Still working on that fucking word though. Damn you, and such.
Mark, dude, not being an asshole or trying to piss you off or anything, but each and every one of those words is a noun. You can even look it up on dictionary.com
Sheesh, you guys are being technical. This is a basic person, place, or thing type of noun. It's not a "process", or any other techinical version of a noun. Comprendé? Basic. All that matters is that they aren't the word I'm looking for, and I don't even have to give you guys reasons why it wasn't the word, so I'll stop correcting you in the future. Simple yes and no answers from now on to avoid these hassles.
