I have a requirement to validate a description to determine if the first
word is a noun.
I could create a DB with Approved words and check that.  Which would be
relatively simple.
However,  I am being compelled to create something that will recognize
noun any noun....
I know this is a shot in the dark but has anyone had similar requirements
and how did you accomplish this...
The requirement is from our Purchasing Department below is an example.

bad
"I need a new pair of size 12 boots "
Good Example
"BOOTS, #519, SIZE 12D "
