I’m going to figure out why my brain prefers things this way

#32987

the better question is why people’s brains pretty consistently prefer things the same way (among native English speakers)

#32988

because it’s a grammatical rule in English that most native speakers have forgotten

It’s a gay bag small

What’s the rule though

big must go before green or youre not worthy

We’re not told about it but every text that’s used to teach us grammar and spelling uses that order, so we just assume it has to be like that.

#32992

The order is Quantity-Quality-Size-Age-Shape-Colour-Proper Adjective-Purpose

A cube looking object you can put stuff inside with characteristics of blue whale And grass

my brain says that that’s wrong because a gay tall kid is weird and a tall gay kid is normal

but maybe ‘gay’ isn’t a quality???

Actual answer: that probably made sense back when gay was just a word meaning happy, but now it’s a proper noun referring to… G A Y but also still the original thing kind of and also the quality of being near the maybe-stereotypes of GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

basically there are three types of gay, and they’re connected but not identical

  • actually being homosexual
  • the umbrella definition to refer to many members of the LGBTQAI+ community that aren’t exactly gay
  • GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

and that’s it
