mixing adjective and noun after prepositional phrase?
Hi,
Is this OK to have an adjective and a noun after what looks to be prepositional phrase. I think it is OK to have either a noun or an adjective, but two of them at the same time?
... by refusing to judge anything according to right or law.
Sorry, but I have another question: What does it mean by "across" here? I think you can go across a big land but this?
... go across some of the Coorong barrages.

Do you consider this accpetable -- having both an adjective and noun after a prepositional phrase, which (I think) can accommdate both?
... by refusing to judge anything according to bad/good or law.
