When it comes to The Great Barrier Reef, “GREAT” is part of the name so not an adjective. Same in some other “GREAT” names.

@kritiper anyway it doesn’t stop being an adjective just because it’s part of a name.
@kneesox Then why is it capitalized?
(A person, place, or thing is a noun.)
Capitalizing has nothing to do with it. It’s capitalized because it’s in a name, but the part of speech has to do with the meaning and use of the word. Tons of names include adjectives. They were adjectives before they were part of a name, like the “white” in White House and “first” in First Lady. “Great” is an adjective and nothing else. It isn’t a person, place, or thing.
@kneesox I love this exchange, since I wasn’t clear on the subject.

Seems like we’ve gone a long way from “great”.
@kneesox I see we have not only strayed far from great, but also a single word substitute.
I’m feeling like some jellies don’t know what an adjective is.
