Ahem, I noob to disturb here.

Well, from my point of view, in the OO world too the word hold thier meanings as they do in the real world. Such as both 'human' and 'apple' object. The objects have properties. It may or may not have methods. Even though an object without any method would not be a true object, an object is just like properties in the sense 'how it looks'. On the other side, the method or process is the way things are done.

So Object is just a set of things that would not do anything or would not hold any importance untill it is attached to a process or a method while running. The properties of the object(s) show up when the methods accosiated with them come to action. They are so different.
