Here’s the Tricky Grammar Rule You Use Every Single Day But Probably Never Thought About

There are some of English grammar rules that all native English speakers know—but don’t realize they know.

Confused?

Fear not, because Twitter user Matthew Anderson, editor of BBC Culture, posted an excerpt from a book this week showing off one of these secret rules.

Apparently, every native speaker sticks to it without even being aware of it:

It’s a rule for the order of adjectives in a sentence.

The proper order for adjectives is: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose, noun.

And if you get the order wrong, you’re likely to sound a little nuts.

The excerpt reads:

“…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.”

But if you were to write “A rectangular little French whittling silver green old lovely knife,” it sends the mind of the reader reeling.

This weird fact received over 42k retweets and 61k likes on Twitter, so people were dying to know where the excerpt came from.

As it happens, it’s from a book called “The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase,” written by British author Mark Forsyth and published in 2013.

So the next time you hear someone talk about their “square Spanish used clay purple big clock,” go ahead and mail them a copy of Forsyth’s book.

They didn’t get the memo.

People are Having a Field Day on Social Media With Pic of Ivanka Trump and Her Brothers

A serious looking photo of the oldest Trump kids started a bit of an internet firestorm over the long Labor Day weekend.

Donald Trump, Jr. posted a political appeal to Millennials by him and siblings, Eric and Ivanka:

But not even the photogenic and well-turned-out children of the Republican presidential nominee could escape the shade thrown by people in a social media meltdown over the image.

The Washington Post reports that it all started when a reporter began mocking the photo:

“It started with a couple of jokes from journalists and others noting a somewhat sinister quality in the photo.”

What WaPo didn’t say was that it was one of its own reporters:

A reporter for the reliably lefty Salon followed suit with a crack about the Church of Scientology:

And then it was on.

Their serious look captured the attention of writer, actor and The Daily Show contributor, John Hodgeman, who likened the Trumps to predators eyeing their food:

The Trump kids went quickly from being their telegenic and camera-ready selves to people in a horror film.

Comedian Pat Tobin likened the Trump trio to a trio of horror movies:

Movie reviewer Adam Frazier decided the Trumps reminded him of another movie, “The Purge”:

The horror movie suggestions didn’t end there. Yikes!

Then came the “Children of the Corn” references:

Wait, they’re not done yet:

The TV critic for The New Yorker switched up the #ChildrenoftheCorn hashtag:

Movie maker Darryl Bartley had an idea for how to re-brand the photo:

Comedian, producer and entertainer, Judd Apatow, had to chime in:

They were likened to a coven of witches:

And they became the object of this woman’s envy-fantasy:

Was the original Trump Instagram post a bust after the media and entertainers lampooned it? So far, the post has nearly 18 thousand likes for Don Jr.
