"Your example is wrong because "code" in my sentence is a noun, not a verb as you assumed." It doesn't matter. You can still make unparseable sentences using code as a noun. "I saw some EE student C code" (where code is used as a noun) is just as wrong as " I saw some kids Basketball play" (where play is a noun). You need something more to craft an unambigous sentence. "I saw someone noun-used-as-adjective+noun" is wrong anyway. To use your logic "I saw someone C code" == "I saw someone English speech". (speech is a noun) "Hint, if you're wrong, but mistakenly try to come back and tell me I'm wrong, I'm going to let you have it with both barrels." I am terrified ;-). "Is English your 1st language? " no, but is it yours? ;-)
