The secret rules of adjective order

#1 Post by Taleweaver »

I'm not usually posting newspaper articles here, but this one was more than just a little interesting to me as a non-native English speaker, and I suppose it's at least as interesting to you, who were (mostly) born into English language. It's a little meta and a little longish, but it's good advice for anybody in the writing profession, I suppose.

Thanks for sharing! This ought to be useful. :)
I'm an aspiring writer and voice talent with a passion for literature and an unhealthy attachment to video games. I am also a seasoned typo-sniper. Inquiries are encouraged. Friendly chats are welcome.
