Native English speakers… I hear the order of adjectives is important, and getting this wrong is jarring to read.
I’m making a pitch to upper management about building a “modular and versatile thingamawidget”. Or is it “versatile and modular thingamawidget”?
If it doesn’t matter, I think I’ll go for the latter, as it abbreviates to something easily pronouncable without sounding like a paramilitary group or a ride sharing business.
In this case the only rule I believe there is, is the prose. What sounds better when read out loud?
Literally looking at Elements of Style RN now to see if maybe I just don’t remember but it doesn’t have a chapter on the use of adjectives. 🤷🏻♂️
