The article contended that this was part of the reason English is viewed to be so hard to learn.


My wife said they used a song to teach it when she was learning English.

You're worrying about adjectives in a world where pronouns are the only things that matter? Get your priorities straight, baw.

If writing should be about flow and rhythm and sound, not a silly arbitrary rule made up by some stuffed shirt.



No one knows this rule but most of us follow it.

Because it flows better.

That’s black iron frying pan

Sounds better than the iron black frying pan.

What gets to me is the use of unnecessary adjectives.

Examples:

Totally destroyed or completely destroyed.

Totally invisible or completely invisible.



A somewhat unique take here

Think about it. It makes sense. Despite Slag's denial, Dolly likes the women.

I think it's because her husband has always hated the limelight so people forget about him or assume he's a beard (or whatever the lesbo version of a beard is)

Shouldn't that read "The unusually large, rough, square, old, red, Japanese, wooden, four-sided, cooking stove was sold for $400......"?

Only if it were abnormally large for a Japanese cooking stove.

I took it to be a large cooking stove that was unusual - as in rare.

Never heard of this ridiculous, silly, arbitrary rule


For American English, especially, there’s just one rule, be understood. The Queen’s English doesn’t apply in the US.
