[78-L] Identification of a test pressing

[Jeff Lichtman]

In the phrase "ladies man," the word "ladies" is an attributive noun (also known as a noun adjunct). That is, it's a noun that modifies another noun, as in "car tire" or "chicken soup." The phrase "ladies' man" uses a possessive, and would mean a man who belongs to some ladies. A lady's man would be a man who belonged to a single lady.
