Mike Hi thanks for the input, some I can see and appreciate as it comes from the writer, the other comes from the critic. There is a huge difference between unlit and silent, especially to the deaf and blind, are you lucky enough to perceive the third dimension? The way the subject of death is delivered to society (in general) is definately vague. In English, adverbs and adjectives prototypically function as modifiers, but they also have other functions. Moreover, other parts of speech (or even entire phrases or clauses) can function as modifiers, having a brother as an English Professor can be a chore.
