RE: How Not to Be Bad at Grammar
Good post! very handy. I remember reading something online about how we unknowingly follow a pattern when we use adjectives. So I wrote down something random, and compared it, and what I wrote matched perfectly. I started paying attention to when others would use adjectives, and they followed it too. Maybe some people are aware, but I don't recall ever it being taught in school! the order is: Quantity or number, Quality or opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Proper adjective, (often nationality, other place of origin, or material) Purpose or qualifier. Found this pretty interesting :)
Thanks! Immediately after I shared this article on Facebook, a friend shared this with me:

I don't think I'd ever heard the order of categories of adjectives spelled out like that before, but I agree, it's very interesting =]
wow! Sort of mind blowing. Humans are amazing.
