RE: Mansion house
It actually does matter, RG, and adjectives certainly can describe other adjectives, as in "dark-green blouse" (an adverb modifies a verb, not a noun or adjective). "Red barn" is a single unit so no comma is needed between "round" and "red." "Round" describes the "red barn."
According to that sec |

RE: Semicolon, coordinate elements?
I think you are misunderstanding the idea of a style manual. The fact that CMOS has included certain things in its style manual is not to say that other uses are incompetent. It's a matter of setting standard usage so that there is some consistency and comprehensibility present.
Anyway, this di |

RE: Coordinate Adjective
No commas. The rule about connecting them with "and" isn't always useful, but a chart that displays the traditional order of adjectives in English usually is. See this one, for example:

RE: Omitting article when it repeats consecutively
Hi, Jun. Welcome to the CMOS forum!
The repetition of the article is unnecessary (and annoying), as "the" applies to all three nouns. Please see the following:

RE: Comma in common phrases
This is something I have never understood. I was taught that if you could reverse the words and use the word 'and', then you truly have coordinate adjectives. Only then would a comma be warranted.

Despite the official "rules," I'd love to know whether others on this forum (aside from [i]Chicago[/i]'s rules) would support the omission of the comma after the date and state in the aforementioned examples.

RE: commas for coordinate adjectives

Sometimes I think I knew grammar and punctuation better before I started learning all the rules.

Don't get too wrapped around the axle over this. It's hardly an egregious error to have a stray or missing comma between adjectives, and n |

RE: BRIAN GARNER
That's not an argument for not putting the comma after the last adjective. That's an argument for not putting the comma between the two. In fact, if there's a comma between the adjectives it means that you could just as well switch the two adjectives around and it would mean the same thing. Therefo |

Resume Style Question Re Using Periods
[font=Tahoma][size=medium]May a declarative sentence omit the subject, "I," just as an imperative sentence omit the subject, "you"? For example, when constructing a resume, should bullet points that contain items that being with verbs be considered declarative sentences and end with periods.
