I agree

Any dictionary will tell you that the word emergency can be both -- noun as well as adjective. To find this information you need about 10 seconds. Simply google the phrase 'define emergency'. No rocket science involved here....

Thanks! Yeah, I did look up the word but I used WordWeb (http://wordweb.info/) dictionary which does't say much about the word in question. So, I didn't know that emergency could be an adjective too. However, I just found it here:

http://www.answers.com/topic/emergency

adj.
For use during emergencies: emergency food rations.

Really, I need to pay more attention to my vocabulary. I should not just add quantity to it, but add some quality too. Anyways, thanks again!

No, friend, you should not agree to my point. See my other post on this page.
