Native English speakers… I hear the order of adjectives is important, and getting this wrong is jarring to read.
I’m making a pitch to upper management about building a “modular and versatile thingamawidget”. Or is it “versatile and modular thingamawidget”?
If it doesn’t matter, I think I’ll go for the latter, as it abbreviates to something easily pronouncable without sounding like a paramilitary group or a ride sharing business.
To my ears, when I say them out loud, I have to pause after versatile, but not after modular. This makes versatile and modular flow worse than modular and versatile does.
This also went away after a few repetitions, so it likely doesn’t matter all that much.
