Before we go, a ruling. Barack Obama or any other politician can be described as “oily” (adjective) provided it’s not abused, but “oils” and “oiliness” (nouns) are banned under the tedious nicknames provision. KKK or Nazi jibes at other commenters are banned under all circumstances, because if there’s any substance to them the relevant commenter will themselves be banned. Much as I would like to be ideologically even-handed, “commie” can be good for a laugh so I’ll be playing that one by ear. No further discussion on these matters is permitted.

Your mob decided Digital Forty Four would be limited to Sydney.

I’m off to see Neil Young this evening at the BDO

Don’t do it Dio!. I’ve seen him three times, once each in OZ and America(by accident, he wasn’t the headliner) and one in Portugal. He sucked every time

I endured English Grammar, Latin and Greek in my educational past, (English Public (Private) Boys School founded in 1552) if I did not know the difference between a noun and an adjective when I was seven years old I would have been caned by the English Master.

how do you or diog know what is a noun or an adjctive anyway

We were taught grammar in English lessons at school. The definition of what is a noun and what is an adjective is not really a contentious point. A useful rule in future is that any word ending in -ness is going to be a noun. I trust that you have benefited from this feedback.

In linguistics, a noun is a member of a large, open lexical category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to modify a noun or pronoun, giving more information about the noun or pronoun's definition.
