Help(please) Hi, everyone 1) Does it sound odd to say "How do you break up with someone and HAVE IT BE a good thing?"... and "You are the only person who gets robbed and HAVE IT TURN OUT benefitial to you".? 2) Do you say "A tall (,) blonde American woman" or "A blonde tall American woman"? And "A big-legged blond British man" or "A blond, big-legged British man"? Please

Number one sounds perfectly natural. For the second, "tall" comes before "blonde." As for the other, I wouldn't say "big-legged" actually because that sounds fat. Do you mean long-legged? I think it doesn't matter which order you use, but I would lean toward "long-legged, blond British man." I don't know if there is a rule, but maybe because we sometimes use "blonde" as a noun meaning "person with blond hair" so it feels natural for other adjectives to come before it rather than after it. I hope that's a little helpful.
