Who else is sick of "awesome" being the only superlative adjective in the English language ?
Q. It seems that in our culture people are extremely sheep-like in language, fashion, consumerism... does anyone think independently today ?

A. Actually, I'm quite a fan of the word "ginormous" these days...Okay, I'll be serious, now. You're right about the hive-like mindset everyone has these days, but I have to blame two things for this situation. One is, I feel there is a lack of education, and since people feel they don't know enough, they don't feel confident enough to make choices. Two is, television and the internet seem to do a lot of thinking for people. There is a stunning lack of critical thinking these days.

Grammar - Adjectives
Q. Noting the use of adjectives, are the following phrases grammatically correct? 1. The company is one of the youngest and creative provider... 2. ... for he was the bravest, and handsome in all the land... If the 1st adjective is a superlative, does it follow that the succeeding one be in superlative form? Thanks Thanks for the quick reply, kurisutiin. I thought so too, but can you guys please give a brief explanation why those are incorrect. I know they are, but i'm having a hard time explaining it to my colleague why it should not be the case. thanks

A. yeas. both are grammatically incorrect. number 1 should be 'youngest creative provider' or 'the youngest and most creative provider' and number 2 handsome should be changed to most handsome.not handsomest. to explain it, using superlative form of adjective means you're using a degree to modify and make comparisons. since the sentence started with highest degree of comparison, the 1st adjective used in the sentence should be balanced with the following adjective/s especially if you're just referring to one kind of person/place/thing. you're making a distinction here to emphasize its superiority to others. if the second adjective did not follow the 1st one with its degree, the sentence would sound or look like awkward. again, use… [cont.]
