I used an attributive, not a predicative adjective. ❋ Unknown (2010)

To shift the discussion just a bit, whether or not we say present participles and gerunds should be differentiated as distinct parts of speech, it still seems to me that except for in cases of a present participle in the slot of attributive adjective (ex/The steering wheel of my car is blue) gerunds and present participles take objects (I like driving my car). ❋ Unknown (2010)

It's true that attributive nouns are normally neutral with respect to number; so we say Toothpaste protects against tooth decay, even though we're talking about all our teeth, I sat in an armchair, even though the chair has two arms, and a five-pound note, a three-year-old child, and so on, even though in postmodifying position the expressions would be plural - a child of three years, a note worth five pounds. ❋ DC (2010)

As they grappled with this attributive dilemma, medico-legal commentators came to see the wisdom of the alienists' hypothesis of insanity, endorsing substantial revisions of the common law of non compos mentis. ❋ Mary L. Dudziak (2008)

Care should be taken, however, to guard against an ambiguous use of an attributive noun... ❋ Judy (2008)

There seems little justification for restricting the attributive function to the singular noun, and such forms as the following ought also to be allowed: ❋ Judy (2008)

An example of an 'indirect attribution' is, "It was determined that 'unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by Customs and Border Patrol officers'." Transformed into a "[correct attribution]" that statement would say something like, "In August of 2009, [CBP] Directive 3340-049 laid out its policies on searching electronic devices....In the course of a border search, with or without individualized suspicion, an Officer may examine electronic devices and may review and analyze the information encountered at the border.” Though correctly attributing an action increases [transparency] and accountability, and generally furthers the common good, it takes more time to say and/or space to write. ❋ But For (2017)

In the event that an image displayed on a web page displays text or other information, the Alt attribute should be set with descriptive text so that persnickety browsers, visually impaired people, and search engines can read the description. A lot of SEO spammers get themselves banned from search engines by [keyword stuffing] their Alt attributes. Some accessibility nuts like to ruin a webmasters day by insisting that every blasted, non-informative image must have an "[Alt tag]". Some of us cave in to their nonsense by using [NiDE], but the truth is, there is no such thing as an Alt tag. Alt is an attribute of the img tag. ❋ Downstrike (2006)

It's no wonder your romances always crash so hard after you finally get to know the person, all [the excitement] between you is nothing more than the anticipation and [reception] of text messages.
