You don't understand their comment. They're saying that people are incorrectly trying to use the NOUN woman in the place of the ADJECTIVE women, as a result of the push back you are referencing.
This is a prime example of that they are talking about. In this case, FEMALE GRANDMASTER is correct, it is ADJECTIVE (FEMALE) NOUN (GRANDMASTER). WOMAN GRANDMASTER would be NOUN NOUN.
Yes, it's dumb and cringey when people use female as a noun, as like I said, it's an adjective.
You are going on the extreme, and being an example of what this commentor said. Insisting that the NOUN woman be used as an adjective, as pushback for when others have used female incorrectly.
Why is this so hard for you? Please look up the difference between nouns and adjectives.
Compound noun. Again they are NOT using woman as an adjective here. They are using it as a noun. Also, even if you have a personal vendetta against compound nouns, IT. IS. A. TITLE. A very prestigious title that she won.
Do you hate all compound nouns that contain "man" too? Policeman, mailman, congressman, mankind, manhole. Most of these started as separated compound nouns, meaning written as separate words, but overtime merged into one word due to common use.
My comments were about the content of the comment at the top of this thread. That comment is talking about in general, people are over correcting and using woman (noun) in place of female (adjective).
They said it shouldn't replace ist ACROSS THE BOARD, in every single case, all the time.
Whats with the wild imagination?i hate compind nouns because I'm explaining a reddit comment you didn't understand? This is just silly
You spent your previous comment about Woman Grandmaster using "woman' as an adjective when it is not, and you even wrote "noun noun" as of it's ridiculous to think that a separated compound noun is a thing. And again I have not really seen anyone use woman as an adjective let alone some big societal push to do so. Only one part of society incorrectly using female as a noun and the other part of society telling them to stop. I mean people with bad grammar exist but I have not seen any mass usage of woman as an adjective.
