I wanna go to Monterey!
Since someone asked . . .

Actually, the trend of adjectives ending in y being used as nouns has begun to really bug this English teacher. I'm sure I'll get over it.

I'm sorry. I was just naming them. What about kitty and puppy? I can re-name him Bruce.

How is shark an adjective? It isn't describing the fish. It's naming the fish.

"Shark" isn't an adjective; it's a noun. "Sharky" would be, I suppose, an adjective, meaning something along the lines of "shark-like." (Which, technically, doesn't make much sense to call a Great White shark-like.)

"Kitty" and "puppy" are both nouns.

My noticing this trend (and I don't know if it's a trend, but it is something that, as I have begun to notice it more and more, has become a pet peeve) began with "shiny." How can something be a shiny.

In any case, I didn't want to start a whole thing. There's a great white at the MBA! Let's stop trying to force a name upon it and talk about how cool/dangerous/potentially bad for the shark this could be.

So, who's going?
