nativism: Matthew Anderson  @MattAnderson BBC  Things native English speakers know,  but don't know we know:  Traducir del inglés  adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-  size-age-shape-colour-origin-material purpose Noun. So you  can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver  whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the  slightest you'll sound like a maniac. It's an odd thing that every  English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write  it out. And as size comes before colour, green great dragons can't  exist.  3/9/16 11:26
