sorry, "a gay"? What's it called when you use an adjective as a pronoun?

"Gay as a noun meaning "a (usually male) homosexual" is attested from 1971."

Is it somewhere in the job description of people who correct other people's grammar that every development of the last few centuries is something entirely novel to them?

Edit: according to wikipedia, the process is a form of Conversion, akin to "verbing" and is quite commonplace in the English language (as is the latter, which Steven Pinker estimates to be responsible for as much of a fifth of English's verbs).

I don't get paid for this. I do it for the glory.

I'm a fat. :P

and the OP is male and calling himself "very butch"? ...as opposed to? ...a lipstick male bisexual? I know, fem bisexual.

A little like calling the sun bright but okay :thumleft:
