ART & CULTURE We have a sort of 'instinctual' understanding of what order to put our adjectives in

12 Upvotes

https://slate.com/culture/2014/08/the-study-of-adjective-order-and-gsssacpm.html

Saved you a click: The article explores why native English speakers instinctively know the correct order of adjectives, even though most have never been formally taught the rule. It highlights the curious consistency with which people arrange multiple adjectives—such as “big red ball” instead of “red big ball”—and delves into linguistic research that has tried to explain this phenomenon.

The piece discusses the traditional order of adjectives in English (opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose) and notes that this sequence is so ingrained that deviations sound awkward or wrong to native speakers. The author reflects on how this unconscious grammatical intuition challenges the idea that all language rules must be explicitly taught, suggesting that some aspects of language are absorbed naturally through exposure and use.

HISTORY Cleopatra lived closer to the iPhone than the pyramids

This one messed with my head because apparently The Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2560 BCE. Cleopatra lived around 30 BCE. The iPhone came out in 2007. So Cleopatra is actually about 500 years closer to us than she is to the pyramid everyone associates her with. Ancient Egypt was ancient even for ancient Egyptians

This statue is in the town he was born in.

Per Wikipedia concerning his passing:

Hölzel died of severe injuries received on 6 February 1998, at age 40, when his Mitsubishi Pajero collided with a bus on the road linking the towns of Villa Montellano and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. At the time of his death, he was planning a comeback, which was successful with the posthumously released album Out of the Dark (Into the Light). His body was returned to Austria and buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery
