Stupidest

A word?

by Anonymousreply 15May 22, 2020 4:35 PM

Merriam-Webster is your friend, OP.

"What says you?"

Oh, dear, OP. Oh, dear on both counts.

Most stupid is better maybe.

No, it isn't, R3:

From Merriam-Webster:

Is stupidest a word? The word stupidest has been in use for hundreds of years; there is nothing wrong with it. Most stupid means the same thing, and people who don't like stupidest should feel free to use it instead.

How about “brang”? I have a sister who, although not a Southerner (but a Trump lover), repeatedly uses that in texts. For both present & past tenses.

I'm sorry but your sister should be shot.

I call her on it every time. To no avail.

I learned in grammar school that any adjective with one or two syllables can be made a superlative with -est. Any adjective having more than two syllables should be preceded by “more” in order to create the superlative form.

It’s a very simple rule.

" Stupid" is a word that is humiliating to the receiver. It is a word that shows disrespect and disdain. It is a word that should only be used to describe a Trump worshiper. Nowhere else.

R12 Thanks for that rule. I never learned that one.

by Anonymousreply 14May 22, 2020 1:07 AM

Sorry, did not mean to mix the superlative and comparative , the latter of which I mislabeled as superlative. Obviously, using "more" before an adjective is the comparative, while using "most" designates the superlative.

Just wanted to clarify.
