Hi,

Can you give me some examples where you need to place a comma or two to separate the nonrelative adjectives?

I can provide you with one to start (maybe):

 profitable, long baggy pants

Profitable pants? 

Anyway, if you separate a series of adjectives with commas, it has to be done consistently.

In your case, it sounds better as "profitable, long, baggy pants" instead of what you suggested.  Be careful on the arrangment of the adjectives as well. 

I am not sure if the way you arrange "profitable, long and baggy" is right though.

   Can you supply me with clear and easy to grasp explanation regarding relative adjectives?

Here, are long and baggy related or nonrelated?  

I have long (a comma??) baggy pants.
