Measurable_attributes [gradable]
An Entity has a particular scalar Attribute with a value exceeding a contextually-specified or generally-understood standard. Except where there is a difference in FEs, we place all adjectives related to measurable quantities in this frame. Note that when an adjective appears with a quantity expression (e.g., 6 feet long), it belongs to the Dimension frame.
