The word 'quality' is actually a noun, it shouldn't be used as an adjective. Phrases such as 'quality electronic music' or 'quality house' employ the word 'quality' as an adjective, which is ungrammatical. I'll get back to reading those serial numbers now... **** But before you do, note down in your exercise book that the usage guidance for the word 'quality' in Webster's New World dictionary (yeah I know, it's not orthodox, but what can you do, the youth of today, etc, etc) includes 'adj. : of high quality.' Don't forget your catalogue numbers whilst you're at it. Ken
