wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Quote: No difference: drunk [EDIT]was originally not an adjective. The first etymology I could find (not near my OED right now) dates it as an adjective back to 1340, which is well prior to modern English. It even predates the Great Vowel Shift. So, yes, it was not originally an adjective, but only if you go back to Middle English. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
