What are your opinions about using singular adjective sentences? It is very common in a variety of journalism, probably to make an article sound more lively, and perhaps conversational.
It is obviously a more informal use of the language, but is it fair to call it incorrect? Are there rules which allow for this sentence structure?
Is the sentence below more correct? If so, do you think it reads as well? In my opinion, it does not carry the same amount of emphasis or 'oompf' as its original form.
...has been called a lot of things: experimental, risky, bold, even impractical.
Very interested to read people's thoughts.
