Why are 'Shakespeare wicked' and 'the map' bad examples?

Answer 1

Based on the sparse information in the question, the phrases 'Shakespeare wicked' and 'the map' may be considered examples of bad grammar. According to traditional English word order, the adjective 'wicked' comes before the noun 'Shakespeare'. But then there may be violations of that rule, particularly in music and poetry. In the second example, the phrase 'the map' is unclear. Perhaps it's clear to direct viewers of the reference by the speaker/writer. But generally it helps to have additional, modifiers of information other than just the definite article 'the' in front of its noun 'map'. For example, more helpful is 'the map on the wall' or 'the most current map'.
