  • Ok. Since you seem to be genuine, I’ll put in the work.

    1. Proper nouns don’t get automatically separated; they get capitalized.

    2. Maybe I’m reading too deep into “the proper noun of this”, but a proper noun is not generally a structural component of a sentence. Properness is an aspect of a noun.

    3. ‘True love’ is the ‘subject’ of the sentence, but it is not normally considered a proper noun. A proper noun is the title or name of a noun, such as: Brian, Marseilles, or Shake Weight.

    4. You may be misapplying the rule about directly addressing someone (or something). You would write: “Jimmy, get down from there,” or “Get down from there, Jimmy,” but you wouldn’t write “I’m going to, Walmart, for groceries.” This usage is often a proper noun, but it doesn’t need to be, such as in “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”
