Quote from Tim in Her Cheatin' Mind
Mark: I have to define a pronoun. Tim: Pronoun? That's easy. Pronoun is a noun that gets paid what an amateur noun would do for free. Mark: I'll just wait for Mom. Jill: Hi. Honey, what are you still doin' up? Mark: I needed help with my homework. I have to define a pronoun. Jill: OK, a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Like, if you were to say, "It's between you and me." "It", "you" and "me" would all be pronouns. Tim: Both definitions are considered acceptable.
