LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5268 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	I was actually referring to the "double comparative" like " more better", don't worry about it. Sweeter is itself the comparative of sweet, doesn't need the "more". Just the teacher in me, always correcting grammar, even when it does not need correcting. Thanks for not taking offense. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

The most unkindest cut of all.

wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/06/01 Posts: 3774 Loc: Worcester, MA	Actually I would postulate it was an editing-incompletely error more than a typo. That it started out something like "...it's more fun knowing which one it is..." and got edited from " more fun" to "sweeter" except that "more" didn't get erased. And then sweeter had the lapsus digitae and came out sweater. (There, now doesn't that sound authoritative? And I wasn't even the author!) But we know what you meant, anyway. In this case, at least, I'm a descriptivist.
