adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you'll sound like a maniac. It's an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And as size comes before colour, green great dragons can't exist.
@Jezibaba interesting. another way to tell if someone is a native English speaker.
@mcfate hahahahaha. yes, that is interesting too. so further elaboration would be necessary. for example, if you're in Liverpool, native would differ in meaning from if you're in Cherokee territory, or the USA in general. the possibilities 🤦🏻🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦🏻🤦♀️ rules are just regularities and can be broken artfully. poets and philosophers have fun with that. nonetheless, little clues like that can be red flags for deception, so it's interesting to note the shibboleths.

"I'm from Liverpool, but I'm fluent in Cherokee."
