Now we can solve the real mystery of how recovered crests confirmed.

I guess it has to do with the probably cases getting better at which point if you want to count them are they probable anymore?

It's graded on a curve. Incidentally, that curve would belong in this thread.

Oh god... The fact that it isn't really a web is pretty immediately obvious, but it took me a good minute of being annoyed that their order didn't make sense before I saw that it goes along the top row then the bottom row from left to right and doesn't just keep going clockwise.

Adjective order. It's a weird English language thing that most people can't quantify but know it when they read it.

Fuuuck. I'm not a native speaker and now I'm concerned about how often I mess the adjective order up. I never knew about this and it seems like a nightmare to learn if it doesn't come naturally.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
Adjective order is one of the worst things, speaking as a non-native English speaker.

The next worst spot is shared by all the weird idioms, idiotic pronunciation, and the fact that on the Internet UK and US English are mixed so much it's practically impossible to not learn a wild mish-mash of vocabulary and spelling.

Green great dragons can exist because compound words do. We’re not listing attributes of generic dragons, but specifying a colour of a great dragon, which any schoolboy knows is the largest species of dovahkiin.

I saw the question and figured it wouldn't be too hard to answer it while providing thread-relevant material :)

This person knows what's up.


I usually teach my ESL students that they don't need to actually remember ODASCOM or whatever, the order basically goes from subjective to objective descriptors or from "decorative" to "essential" descriptors. We all know it's not gay communism, it's space communism at it's core and we've just been describing the best implementation of it.

Yeah the adjective order thing is weird but it's something you can pick up from just reading stuff. Messing up the order then immediately feels wrong even if you can't quote the rule.

Hyphen use or nonuse (or non‐use) is largely arbitrary.

It used to be common for compound words to evolve from having a space to having a hyphen to having neither, but anecdotally, I believe the hyphen has fallen from favour in recent decades.

“Video game” is clearly a compound word that means something other than the sum of its parts. “Videogame” is another form sometimes seen, but I cannot recall ever seeing “video‐game” in the wild.
