Hello teacher!
I have a question, please .
I have understood that "handsome" is an adjective from the category "opinion" which means it should come first in the order of adjectives. But I came across this sentence in a book : a tall, dark, handsome cowboy.
Why is it used at the end??
And also i know that these three adjectives:tall dark handsome are from three different categories which are size color opinion respectively. Why then are they used with commas to separate them ??
I really want to know the answers, please answer me.

I am not ditching the Oxford comma. I have always heard that the Oxford comma is used in American grammar.
