re: #235 IslandLibertarian

sheesh……I saw that right after I posted, but still thought “twilight” was a noun…..good thing I draw for a living……….

The tricky thing is that it IS a noun, but possessives function as adjectives. English teacher even argue whether to call my, your, our, etc. possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives (I’m in the possessive pronoun camp; we abbreviate them “PP,” which always prompts giggling among my 9th graders, especially the boys).

Little known fact: first names (when used with last names) are actually adjectives, identifying which member of the family you are.
