Sheriff Pete is prob best able to give you the grammatical explanation you're not really seeking, but he's clearly cleverer than Hesi and even more clever than the Mustelid (at some things, sometimes) MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 From the man himself: "I got away light I thought 12 months DQ effective immediately $5k fine $10k costs Now I get 12 months holiday from racing, and I save $42k ( what I spent at Ellerslie on sponsorship & hospo last year ) Everyone’s a winner .... now roll on the conclusion of Inca so we can shine some light on it and see who was right and who was wrong."

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 24 minutes ago, Say No More said: Yes, someone please enlighten me. "C is more cleverer than A than B is" Would love someone to explain how that is not grammatically correct. You can either say someone is more clever than someone else or cleverer than someone else. More cleverer makes no sense as you are effectively saying more more clever. If you want to get technical you are mixing a comparative and a superlative.That is why it isn't grammatically correct. For adjectives that are just one syllable, add -er to the end (this explains the above example). For two-syllable adjectives not ending in -y and for all three-or-more-syllable adjectives, use the form “more + adjective.” For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -er.

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 John you'd argue black was white sometimes. If you wish to go around saying more cleverer then do so. However you want to argue it, it isn't grammatically correct. The English language is stupidly illogical as we all know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 23 minutes ago, Say No More said: How about where the adjective itself ends in "er" such as clever? It becomes cleverer then doesn't it? So actually what you are then proposing is clevererer which ISN'T a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just now, Say No More said: I have never proposed the word "clevererer". All I'm suggesting is that "more cleverer" when used in a double comparison is not grammatically incorrect. As an ex journalist I can tell you that more cleverer would not get past a sub editor, quite rightly too. However... Let's agree to differ. I think there are more important issues in the world today 🤔. If it had been anyone but Hesi who typed that I would never have dreamed of correcting them.

pete Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just to remove any lingering doubts. Double Comparatives = Incorrect Usage The use of the term double comparative also applies to the incorrect use of two comparative forms together. Here are some examples: This wine is more tastier than that bottle. She is more funnier than Tom is. Alexander is more taller than Franklin. In this case, more is not required as the comparative adjective form has been modified by the addition of '-ier'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Double superlatives also, which I have mischievously edited the title of this thread to. And I think I'm wrong there as well, ending a sentence with a preposition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
