Dude, it's a real word. We just speak a screwy language. You'll adjust, sooner or later. Or have a total linguistic breakdown and go hermit on an unpopulated island in the south seas, drawing hieroglyphs to yourself amidst the fiddler crabs.

That just looks screwy. Nounish, but screwy.

Oh, I suppose. But it just doesn't have the savoir-faire, the...nounishness, if you will, of "noun." ;-P

Hmm. Is there an adjectival form of "noun"?

If you think adjective is fun to say, try adjectival, the adjective form of adjective.

Funny that the word adjective is a noun... Same with all the other parts of speech, but adjective is the most fun to say. Except for maybe gerund.

I just love the irony that arises when writing, to discover that you are in need of a "good" adjective, no wait, a "better" adjective, or perhaps an "empathic, melodious, soulful" adjective. And then you decide on moist.
