software name?
Hi,
1. How do you decide on how to put English articles in front of (software game??) names like Playstation 3? Do you have to make a decision as to whether it is used as a software or used a game first? Maybe, the rule is if used as a game, put the article in; whereas, if it is used as a sacred name of a particular type of software that is being enjoyed by youngster all over the world? Can you make some sort of connection to the rules that apply to some proper names?
as fun as the Playstation 3
2. When you have a possessive placed in front of a noun, does that 'possessiveness' overrides all determiners including determiners for superatives?
She is Korea's most beautiful woman.
Normally, you would write like this if the underlined possessive is not used:
She is the most beatitul woman in Korea.
So, an argument can be made that these sorts of possessives can override all determiners. Can it?
