Note is also a verb and a noun.

I note it on the wall.

You are wrong.
your use of vacation is wrong.
If you would have said "The only place I have vacationed is union city." then you would have been correct.

Quote:Transitive versus Intransitive Verbs.
Not as difficult as some people think. A transitive verb takes a direct object: it shows action upon someone or something. Intransitive verbs take no direct object; they need only a subject to make a sentence.
Some transitive verbs: Hit (you hit something or someone; you don't just hit); climb (you don't just climb; you climb something); and bring (bring what?). Intransitive verbs: sleep (you don't sleep something; you just sleep); and fall (while you can fall down the stairs, you don't fall the stairs).

Did you just make up the rules about conjugating intransitive verbs?

Do you vacation there often?
Yes, I vacation there often.

do you flabbergast often?
- Silera - 01-30-2004
Rarely.
I've been wanting to use the word for ages.
- IrishAlkey - 01-30-2004
Yes, I flabbergast often.
- The Sleeper - 01-30-2004
I should flabbergast more, but you know how it is.
