Grammar
"beautiful young lady" or "beautiful and young lady"?
which sounds more right and why?
I have seen people or written text , both "a beautiful young lady" or "a beautiful and young lady" seems to be used but which one is grammatically correct for strictly speaking?
I see sometimes people use "adj. + adj. + noun", but sometimes "adj, + and + adj. + noun"
how's that difference
THanks!!!!!!!

Neither phrase is incorrect. " It's a question of style, and I also feel that "a beautiful and young lady" would lend itself better to a passive construction. This is just my opinion.

I agree with JohnParis, adding that phrases like 'young lady' 'old man', 'little guy' are phrases that can be considered entities of their own.
