Thanks for that. English can be ambiguous when multiple adjectives are used. I always quote the song title "The purple people eater" as an example. Is he a "people eater" who happens to be purple, or does he only eat purple people? The song title could refer to either. You have to listen to the lyrics of the song to find the answer.
