Double comparatives and superlatives.

Double comparatives and superlatives. Double compara-tives and superlatives are those that unnecessarily use both the -er or -est ending and more or most. Occasionally, these forms can add a special emphasis, as in the title of Spike Lee’s movie Mo’ Better Blues. In academic and professional writing, however, do not use more or most before adjectives or adverbs ending in -er or -est.
