Noticing Nominalization

I'm with Emily on this one. I wasn't familiar with the idea of nominals prior to taking this class, so I can't say that I noticed them. That said, I'm sure I come across them all the time. As an English major, I read different genres from many different places and time periods, so I imagine it's pretty impossible for me to not have come across nominalization. This class is affecting my writing style for the better, I think. I like to be concise and use accurate language, so knowing how to be even more accurate is obviously helpful.
