55commas between adjectives:2004/10/13(水) 07:14
NOT Between Cumulative Adjectives
Cumulative adjectives build their meaning in one particular order. You can not switch them around and still make sense.

EXAMPLE:
Willy wore his black basketball shoes.
Willy wore his basketball black shoes. (This sounds silly, doesn't it?)

The order of black and basketball does matter; black must appear first in the sentence. These are cumulative adjectives: they build their meaning in one order only. Notice there is no comma between them.
