JimmyBT Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Isn’t a noun a person, place or thing? That’s what school house rock said anyway.

Lipdrag Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Very interesting grammar take: Can an adjective be nounified? See what I did there, made a noun - actually the freaking word NOUN - into a verb!!! Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Blues, Homestead Grays, New Zealand All Blacks. I am leaving out the Cleveland Browns as they were named after Paul Brown who was a person, place, or thing and therefore a noun. It is very common to turn a traditional adjective into a noun and make it plural. I am siding with Duals as approved lexicon. Edited December 13, 2023 by Lipdrag People who tolerate me on a daily basis . . . they are the real heroes.

Expand so you think the marketing of professional sports teams should have abritary authority over grammar as an academic subject? I don't deny your argument but it sounds like a confusion of what level we are arguing at. Edited December 13, 2023 by Hammerlock3 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
