That's an adverb, not an adjective.


Um, no; it is modifying "brilliant", which is a noun. Thus it is an adjective.

Um, no. A noun is a person, place, or thing. "Brilliant" is none of
these See

geez, does it really matter? It's the same word... if the FCC is going
to stoop to THAT low of a level to let certain words "slide" now, why not
just do away with all censoring all at once?

it'll degenerate one day to the type of television they have in europe and
australia, where I hear just about anything goes.

F.C.C. Ruling Could Allow Use Of "F-word" On T.V.
By Jon Hanian BOISE -

In broadcasting, dropping the so called "F-bomb" goes
over like an H-bomb. But the FCC has now ruled that
the use of the "F-word" by U-2 frontman "Bono" at
the Golden Globe awards **did not** violate federal
indecency rules.

The FCC rules say the use of the word must be "patently offensive"
to be considered indecent.

I'll have to do a search at the US Patent Office to see who might have a
patent
on the f-word. And to see if they wrote it offensively.
