I’m going to figure out why my brain prefers things this way
the better question is why people’s brains pretty consistently prefer things the same way (among native English speakers)
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.
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???
Twelve beautiful large 11 year old circular orange aretes
gay transcends normal grammatical rules
What else defies these rules
I should start mixing this stuff around to purposely annoy people because I’m a nice person
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
I am above the law
As a scholar in Gae Studies™ I can confirm this is the case.
My ideology is My purpose
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
please note that the amount of A in the last one generally tends to personal preference, and how on top of the current situation you are in you are
acksually
its LGBTQIA+
banned for homophobia smh
