Mission Impossible/Impossible Mission

0Re: Word order 02br
02br
00Adjectives normally come before nouns.02br
00However for the movie title it is called "Mission Impossible".02br
00I think it sounds cooler than "Impossible Mission" for some reason... 02br
00Is it grammatically correct? If it is, can it apply to other adjectives and nouns?02br
00I would appreciate your answer, please. 02br
02br
00Thank you in advance.05002br

My friend, the movie title is mission, impossible (with a comma) . It means: mission is impossible, in fact it's not opposite to grammatical rules and comma in there means "is"
