The unproper noun game™

What the whole site is: a grammar joke played for keeps. A proper noun is a real, specific, named thing — a person. The game is spotting the unproper noun: the thing that wears a name like a person but isn't one — a corporation with a name and no body, a brand with a name and no pulse, the machine with a byline and no stake. All proper-looking nouns; none of them real.

And it's topicality first. In debate, topicality is the argument about what the words of the resolution actually mean — and you settle it before you argue the case. This house runs topicality on the word "person": resolve who is real before you debate anything else. The corporation's claim to personhood doesn't lose on substance — it loses on T. Define the terms, and you'll see it plainly: only humans are proper nouns.
