Want to hear something bonkers? English has an inviolable rule wrt order of adjectives: OSASCOMP. Adjectives have to be presented in the following order: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose. Every fluent English speaker knows this intuitively but few can articulate it
for example: my Big Fat Greek wedding has to be in that order. Fat Big Greek, Big Greek Fat, or Fat Greek Big wedding all sound wrong, and we all know the right way to say it, but usually nobody knows why!
You'd think that one could switch the order up to emphasize different adjectives, but no, we have to do that through intonation and stuff like a madman
OK, to describe a certain someone:
Disgusting, tall, obese, ancient, doddering, orange, Nazi, protoplasmic, presidential candidate.
Did I get that right?
