Who made you think that? I don't know English grammar,  
but in Portuguese an adjective can be "explanatory"  
or "restrictive". _imperial_ is restrictive, I want  
to reduce the set of units to those that are imperial.  
_horrible_ is explanatory, because every imperial  
unit is horrible. Damn the ambiguities of the wolfling  
languages :-(  
  
Probably Gal2 has such distinctions
