Thank you all for replying to this post. Now I have to
explain to an intelligent Hebrew speaker when is something a
noun used as an adjective and when it is an adjective used
as a noun. For example, great is used both an adjective 'It
was great fun' and a noun "Bob Hope is considered a comedic
great'.
Personally Joe Barnett has hit the nail right on the
head. English is a flexible language and fun as a
noun/adjective is in transition. For now I will say very fun
is wrong because it sounds wrong (the Native English
Speakers cop-out).
In this spirit I wish you all the very best of a fun week.
David
