Bruce, that was an enjoyable article. Thank you for sharing it.

I didn't realize there were rules. Especially the multiple adjective rules. I sometimes find myself struggling with the order of adjectives because I know they sound wrong, but don't know how to do it correctly.

It surprised me there are actually rules. I guess I just played it by ear going by what I normally hear(read) others doing my whole life.

Oh shit, I've been brainwashed by our Syntax Overlords.
