[Vocabulary] Can "in demand"be used as an attributive?

[on the way]

Hello,everyone! Can "in demand" be used as an attributive? The following is a sentence I read the other day - "Often they'll know the secrets of touring in demand places when they're not teeming with people". As far as I know, "in demand" can be used as a predicative，as illustrated in the sentence "The product is not much in demand now." Can it be used as an attributive as well ? Any reply will be appreciated.

Certainly it can in AmE. I am not so sure about BrE.

For example, "In southern Florida, in demand properties usually have a swimming pool."

 

[Tdol]

It can be used that way in BrE, though I would hyphenate it to in-demand.

Your use of "teaming" is incorrect. The correct word is "teeming".

God how I hate that "their". I admit that it is becoming or has become standard, but I will never cease to hate it.

I just fought this battle on Facebook. Probus, "their" was used for a VERY long time as a singular, third-person, gender-unknown pronoun. Around the same time those geniuses had the idea that English should be like Latin and tried to create ridiculous "rules" for English so it would be more Latin-like, they started saying this was bad form too. The number of great writers who never heard of this rule in the 1800s and used "their" with wild abandon would fill anyone's shelf. There's as much reason to hate it as there is to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition - something I find easy to put up with.

I'd say it's reasonable to assume that anybody with the name Leonardo is male.

If she's a woman and offended by a masculine pronoun, tough.
