An example of it being treated as a noun is:<br /><br />This raider of low literacy starts as a vandal (5)Abhayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198192791769284895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-15727468880408189252015-04-16T09:54:03.339+05:302015-04-16T09:54:03.339+05:30Col, Have you "cut" the disc of West Ind...Col, Have you "cut" the disc of West Indian music?Raghunathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162552411714117166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-66726038707860679642015-04-16T09:52:27.982+05:302015-04-16T09:52:27.982+05:30Abhay seems to be right.
