That bird had legs that wouldn’t quit, and an unblinking stare that looked right into your soul. She kept pleading with me to tell her “Who? Who?” but I had no answers.
It's not something ever learn directly, but nonetheless we all seem to inherently know it. Why this order? Who knows! It's one of many weird quirks of our language (and some others). It's certainly a hard thing for non-native speakers to pick up on.

I honestly wouldn't blame anyone who just rage quits English upon getting to this lesson in ESL class.
english isn't special all languages have this
how do you think anglophones feel when they learn french and have to say "small balloon red"?
Does this count as upskirting?

because slavery is still legal in some parts of the world.

I wonder how they taste?
With their tongues.

2: doesn't look like there's be much meat to taste
