FYI: You can use more than one adjective to describe the noun…SOOOO order of these adjectives are important. Yes, you are right Kirk. I know what you are thinking and order is important! Here are some guidelines to help you sort it out.

1) Adjectives of color, origin, material and purpose usually go in that order.

2) Other adjectives usually go before this (size, length, and height often come first).

The round glass table NOT THE GLASS ROUND TABLE

3) Adjectives that express judgements or attitudes usually come first (lovely, pure, absolute, extreme, perfect, wonderful, silly)

Yes Jordan, I could list more rules but these should be good enough to help you succeed!

• Abecedarian insult, an: "Sir, you are an apogenous, bovaristic, coprolalial, dasypygal, excerebrose, facinorous, gnathonic, hircine, ithyphallic, jumentous, kyphotic, labrose, mephitic, napiform, oligophrenial, papuliferous, quisquilian, rebarbative, saponaceous, thersitical, unguinous, ventripotent, wlatsome, xylocephalous, yirning zoophyte." Translation: "Sir, you are an impotent, conceited, obscene, hairy-buttocked, brainless, wicked, toadying, goatish, indecent, stable-smelling, hunch-backed, thick-lipped, stinking, turnip-shaped, feeble-minded, pimply, trashy, repellent, smarmy, foul-mouthed, greasy, gluttonous, loathsome, wooden-headed, whining, extremely low form of animal life."

WOW try saying that to someone sometime, I think there are enough adjectives in that to last a lifetime.
