Noun:
noun (n.)
late 14c., from Anglo-French noun "name, noun," from Old French nom, non (Modern French nom), from Latin nomen "name, noun" (see name (n.)). Old English used name to mean "noun." Related: Nounal.
Verb:
verb (n.)
late 14c., from Old French verbe "word; word of God; saying; part of speech that expresses action or being" (12c.) and directly from Latin verbum "verb," originally "a word," from PIE root *were- (3) "to speak" (cognates: Avestan urvata- "command;" Sanskrit vrata- "command, vow;" Greek rhetor "public speaker," rhetra "agreement, covenant," eirein "to speak, say;" Hittite weriga- "call, summon;" Lithuanian vardas "name;" Gothic waurd, Old English word "word").
They are both words but a noun expresses the name of something real (tree, rock, house, bird) while the verb expresses some type of action (the rock moves, the bird flies).
Consent is an action. It is a verb.

Consent as a noun is a thing.
Somehow your action of consent (as a verb) is getting translated over to some physical item with the name of your consent attached to that thing. Can you think of what you might have done that would label some physical item to be created as a noun (with a name) that might be interpreted as a consent?
This alchemy (conversion of an action to a noun) is what is causing 99.8% of your problems.
What action can you take that allows you to show that your consent is NOT a noun?
