A word describing a {{tag|noun}}. Generally eschewed in legal drafting, but not quite as assiduously as are {{tag|adverb}}s. Adverbs are are viewed with horror in legal circles, having only literary, but no forensic merit. Adjectives are more of a necessary evil. | |||
Sometimes adjectives can be quite handy, even to a curmudgeon, and in rare cases carry all the semantic content of an adjectival phrase. If you take the adjectives out of “a [[commercially reasonable manner]]” you are not left with much at all: “The parties shall act in a manner at all times” would irk even a well-bred attorney. | |||
