UK: It is a noun. It is short for "the Liberal Party". US: It is an adjective. He voted for the candidate who had liberal policies. In this example, I'd go for the UK usage, as 'Liberal' was capitalised. -- Fabian To find out what makes paranoiacs tic, follow them around and watch them for a while.
