Many also think that the location of "all" changes what kind of modifier it is. Anymore detail than that will just make my head hurt more than usual.<br /><br />Thanks EK.MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-38529738618207242752009-06-22T16:39:29.196-07:002009-06-22T16:39:29.196-07:00I personally think "all" is the noun and...I personally think "all" is the noun and "they" is the adjective.Eric Karroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-80129193471534890462009-06-22T15:44:25.462-07:002009-06-22T15:44:25.462-07:00Okay grammar dudes: another question.
