Why should I have to guess? I wouldn't think you would have to guess. You must have had some noun in mind when you said that "hyena" referred to a noun. There were four other nouns in my sentence. One was "guess." The others were "pack," "face" and "exhausion." I simply asked you to pick the noun you had in mind because your point made no sense to me. Nouns don't usually refer to nouns. Adjectives modify nouns. Hence my confusion. Hyenas are known for their hunting and feeding style. I have watched them in the wild. I was not watching them form or express opinions. If you still insist, contrary to my assertion, that my usage of "hyena" was about opinions rather than teeth... or will you respond like a normal person A "normal: person would, I suppose, take offense at being accused of either lying or not knowing what she was talking about. If I assert that the "hyena" reference had nothing to do with opinions, and particularly when I explain what should be an obvious reference while you can come up with nothing better than a vague reference to a noun to refute my assertion, then I expect you to accept it. Perhaps I'm not very normal. I'm not offended, merely impatient.
