adjective order; breast OK
Jan. 14th, 2025 02:59 pmMignon Fogarty famously made up the word OSASCOMP to describe the order of adjectives in English. Most native speakers wouldn't be able to easily state the rule, but could tell if it is being violated.
Opinion: pretty, horrible, lovely
Size: huge, tiny, big, little
Age: old, young, new
Shape: round, square, triangular
Colour: black, red, yellow
Origin: British, Chinese, French
Material: woolen, wooden, silk
Purpose: writing (paper), school (shoes)
I was thinking of this when trying to compose a text about a radiology report, using not many key taps. I tend to be long-winded here, but short with texts.

I had another fancy mammogram today, six months after the biopsy - just the left (biopsied) side, again with the extra angles. There is one calcification still there (which we knew in July) but it is unchanged, which apparently is good enough. I still have a reddish scar where the needle went in. Maybe six months isn't enough.
I came up with "six-month follow-up mammogram results were ok." The OSASCOMP thing doesn't have a time frame line, but since follow-up implies purpose, that had to be last. I thought of using more adjectives, but that's really all the news. I thought of making an icon of breast tissue but hope I won't need it as often as I do the tooth icon.
