White-orange or orange-white? Which color comes first? @JeffAtwood, isn't how to order modifiers in order to best articulate something English usage? |

White-orange or orange-white? Which color comes first? @JeffAtwood, will it confuse matters if I say that I think I agree with you (even as you disagree)? I totally agree that the dominant determinant is domain-specific convention, but the question was closed because in the absence of such convention, it appeared unanswerable. But the top answer points out that when there is no convention, there's still a good approach for clearer writing - lead with the more dominant, or more variable color (in this case, the non-white one). |

White-orange or orange-white? Which color comes first? This question looks to be completely subjective or unanswerable, as the choice seems irrelevant, but but the answer demonstrates that that's not the case: Leading with the changing (variable) color is actually extremely good advice. |

If “whenever possible” is in the middle of a sentence, does it need to be preceded by a comma? Given the closing reason, could someone please provide the single link to a page in a standard internet reference source that answers this? |
