Carol responds:

"Logic" is a noun (an abstract noun, as I said before) and "logical" is the adjective form. With you so far. But what do you mean by "the verb form 'to be' as logic is the thing itself and therefore a noun"? Sorry, but that sentence doesn't make any sense.

It sounds as if you're saying that "to be" (an infinitive, if we want to get technical) is a noun. If you mean that "logic" is "the thing itself" (an abstract concept rather than a tangible object), I agree. But what does "to be" have to do with it?

BTW, I had no idea that "stone" in your implied metaphor referred to diamonds. I thought it was something more akin to "stone" in "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
