  Whoa!  This is =really= off-track!
  What was being discussed was whether a constructed language =must= have 
adjective-noun accord, or must =not= have it.  The designer of Eurolang 
claims that Esperanto is wrong, because it has that type of accord, while 
others say that Eurolang is wrong, because it doesn't have it, while 
virtually all Indo-European languages do (English being the only notable 
exception).
