It's interesting to me that in the Post article the violation is said to
result from the pronoun('s) having an adjective as its antecedent; the
possessive noun "Toni Morrison's" is said to be an adjective. This
reminds me that in many grammar textbooks used in K-12 all sorts of
things are called adjectives from indefinites (every, all) and numerals
to possessive pronouns and articles. Basically, anything that comes
before a noun is an adjective.
