Reply to comment by sstrombe in ELI5: Why does the order of adjectives matter? by AbleReporter565
Perhaps the most interesting part is this is a relatively high level priority ordering system that is (mostly) innately understood when learning the language as a child. Just by hearing others speak/seeing them write we program our brains to only accept one ordering of words as correct even though we were never formally taught this system.
