Since the question is answered; I'll give a fun response. (My respect goes out to Nuns so no offense intended.) Shouldn't a place where a Nun lives be called a nothing or since so many are in one place does it add up enough to cal it a something? Convent sounds best to me simply because Nunnery sounds like a factory of some sort . . . but then again Convent sounds like part of a machine. I ask my dad when I was little about Nuns and he replied the best he knew how (keep in mind I grew up deep in the woods) he said: "Well, they're kindly like lady Catholic preachers."
