Grammar
adjective as noun
Dear Teachers,
I wonder if I can use the adjective "specific" as a noun in this sentence:
<<General rules on the risks generated by wondering animals and site-specific(s)." >>
Can I add the "s" to avoid the repetition of the word "risks"?
Thank you very much!!

" >> Can I add the "s" to avoid the repetition of the word "risks"? Maybe, but better to recast, eg General rules on site-specific risks and on those generated by wandering animals. I'd prefer 'procedures for' rather than 'rules on'.
