Margaret Schroeder
: Query term is a noun; this is an adjective. It only works with rewording as George says. But why bother, when "entrepreneurs" fits perfectly?

note to Manual
If you post ONE word for ANOTHER word, it does not show that you are rewriting sentence. Therefore, it looks wrong. If you plan to rewrite the sentence, which is often necessary, you have to explain. You can\'t just throw out a word without sentence context because it does not make any sense.
cheers
