Men have a thing called Intelligance. It means they know what there talking about. A trait sadly lacking in women. Its a genetic thing i think.

My lack of knowledge on here is actually a guise. I'm actually a very smart ****er. I can sometimes add up small numbers too

Sumink to do with the size of our brains I think.

My lack of effort at school led to me selling sexual favours to strangers and dealing drugs. I resolve most of my issues with fighting and drinking.

Hard to believe that kinda thing goes on E-Dawgydawd.

Oh dear, Jeff - you missed more than you highlighted.

A trait sadly lacking in women.

This is a sentence without a verb.

I just highlighted the most obvious one, but you have finished it for me Boc :icon_bigg

 

[Blue Maniac]

This is a sentence without a verb.

'Lack' is a verb. Granted, it's a disgrace of a sentence; it lacks a subject. It would have been more or less grammatically correct (if not factually) if it had been phrased thusly: "This is a trait sadly lacking in women." As I'm sure you're aware, 'this' is never a verb.

:icon_bigg

The "lacking" here is an adjective. :icon_conf

 

[Siouxsie]

The "lacking" here is an adjective. :icon_conf

Isn't it a incomplete sentence using the present progressive tense rather than an adjective?






(I may well be wrong. I was only taught English grammar as part of German lessons)

Ask Blue Maniac as he/she/it said

'Lack' is a verb. Granted, it's a disgrace of a sentence

.

Neither of which seems to apply.

 

[Blue Maniac]

The "lacking" here is an adjective. :icon_conf

From Dictionary.com:

"–verb (used without object)
5. to be absent or missing, as something needed or desirable: Three votes are lacking to make a majority. "

But also:

"–adjective
2. wanting; deficient: He was found lacking in stamina."

If it referred to 'women' (see the second example), it would indeed be an adjective, but it doesn't. It refers to 'intelligance' (see first example), whatever that is :icon_bigg

 

[Blue Maniac]

Ask Blue Maniac as he/she/it said .

:icon_bigg he, for future reference

Isn't it a incomplete sentence using the present progressive tense rather than an adjective?

Yes. In simpler terms, it's a verb.

I think we need to get enderby fox's opinion on this before we can settle it, he does have a good grade at English A level after all.
