Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell

I'm gonna have to say 0 points.

reviving the thread...
but I think we do need another hint. every rule i think of seems to have at least one word that should or shouldn't have scored a point do the opposite. just tell me if all letters are taken into account or just specific ones like first and last?

It has nothing to do with the letters of the words. It has to do with the properties/definitions of the words themselves.

Big hint, just because I think my rule is too hard and it's killing the thread:

Spoiler
Sometimes this word is ______, but other times it is ______.

Find the conditions to make the scoring word true.

Yes, that is correct!

Full solution: 1 point for every word that could either be a noun or a verb in American English.

Sorry if this one was too hard, it seemed that everyone lost interest so I kind of needed to hint.
