2 adjectives together
I fund something tricky in the sentence below:Europe has been dead wrong to simultaneously demand that Greece impose steep new taxes and deep social spending cuts guaranteed to prolong and worsen an already severe recession.
How to explain the 'dead wrong' part? Doesn't 'deadly wrong' make more sense?

Hi
I guess, it should be "deadly wrong" because I do not think we can put two adjectives together, only if we seperate them with a comma, e.g. he is a clever, handsome guy.
