BTW, the rule as far as I can tell is this:
* "big" can apply to countable things, physical or not; but can't apply
to quantities. So "big cat", "big house", "big idea", and "big ego" are
OK, but "big volume" or "big amount" are wrong.
* "large" can apply to quantities, and to physical things, but not to
non-physical things. So "large cat", "large house", "large volume", and
"large amount" are all OK; but "large idea" and "large ego" are wrong.
