NO! I still feel that heat is the caloric energy that flows from
a source at at a high temperature to a receiver at a lower temperature.

OK... if you make it "heating describes energy transfer from a source at
a high temperature to a receiver at a lower temperature".

OK... if you make it "intgernal or thermal energy" describes
energy transfer from a source at
a high temperature to a receiver at a lower temperature".

> > > How many vote for 3) heat is not a noun?

NO .. If you did so, you could not "Turn on the heat when the room
becomes too cold"
What would an "electric heater" produce if heat is not a noun?
What would horses run when they come down the stretch?
