Does a name go before or after the noun it modifies? I’m afraid I’m still confused. I understand the Ben Sherman shirt and London policemen examples, but the shirt isn’t named Ben Sherman and the policemen aren’t named London. Here, in contrast, John Smith and User Profile identify “which one”, not “what kind”. The user [named] “John Smith” has been registered; go to the tab [named] “User Profile”. Both John Smith and User Profile are names, so why can we swap the order of User Profile and tab but not John Smith and user? Are personal names just special? |

Does a name go before or after the noun it modifies? When you say that "User Profile" is an adjective "in this context" and that the "tab" clause is correct, are you referring to both sentences or just the first? |

Is there a word that means “every four weeks”? I have the phrases "weekly recurrence", "biweekly recurrence", "monthly recurrence", "annual recurrence", etc. For consistency, I'm looking for "(adjective) recurrence" for the four-week case. |

Is there a word that means “every four weeks”? I like the sound of "fwaply". I'm afraid other people will find it rather unobvious though ;-) |
