The nature of adjectives

I spent the day sieving soils at BU. I blasted some music in a small windowless lab on the 3rd floor and made a day of it. It's a little weird how much fun it is to sing really loudly and terribly by yourself in a building you know is empty.

When I came home, Becky, Steve and I rediscovered the natural order of adjectives, where be basically spent an hour figuring out the list you get when you pull up the wiki page for "adjective", reproduced below.

1. quantity or number
2. quality or opinion
3. size
4. age
5. shape
6. color
7. proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
8. purpose or qualifier

Example: One steamy big old square white American swimming pool.
