    Who says they're not?  I hear them used all the time?  

    "I'm badder than bad"

    "How much gooder are you?"

    Well, acording to the strict vernacular English orthodoxy of words they are not but are a sublimational abberration and convolution of slang to meet ones emotionality of the moment I guess thus American stupidity. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at May 24, 2024 8:48 AM MDT
