ill vs sick
0 Not long ago, I was told on this forum that ill can't be used before a noun as an adjective. Instead, sick must be used. I came across this sentence and ill is used, please confirm if the usage is correct.Thanks! 02 br

00 If 01 b 00 ill 02 b 00 air travelers aren't allowed to board, they may be able to get the airline to waive their fees -- technically they've been denied boarding involuntarily -- but now they have to find their way home or to a hotel or a hospital. And they're already in the airport terminal, which is a public area, and who knows how many people they've already infected. Was that really worth the few hundred dollars the airline made? 02 br
