Is the word pronoun a pronoun?

This is a fun little word puzzle!

The word "pronoun" is not a pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronouns are words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, we, you, I).

* "Pronoun" is a noun. It's the name of the type of word that replaces nouns.

Think of it like this: "Dog" is a noun, but it's not an actual dog. Similarly, "pronoun" is the name of a word, but it doesn't act as a replacement for a noun itself.
