Sorry.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.  I has second thoughts about this posting, felt it would be a mistake to leave it up and decided to remove the content.  Is that better, doog? Big Smile

Many are the days that I was glad Shep never wandered into ship modeling . . .

Except for McNarry, Longridge, Mansir, Hahn, et al . . .

Sigh.

"bad" is an adjective, not a noun. (pet peeve, sorry).

Letters at the beginning of sentences need to be capitalized.  That's my pet peeve.  Wink

I apologize for my use of slang.  I will immediately rectify the situation.

Also, "bad" can indeed be used as a noun although you were correct that my usage of it in the sentence in question was incorrect.  Here are some situations in which bad may be used as a noun:

1. That which is bad: You have to take the bad with the good.

2. A bad condition, character, or quality: His lack of tolerance for people's usage of slang seemed to go from bad to worse.

3. (Used with a plural verb ) Evil persons collectively (usually preceded by the): The bad are always stirring up trouble.
