The ending er and ist, when added to long adjectives, also violates the norm and has different formations: to suggest excitement, humour, education. e.g It is getting curioser and curioser. She was the beautifullest woman. For the sake of humor or advertising, -er and est are added to such adjectives as bad (baddest, worse), good (goodes), many (maniest, manier) etc. Sometimes, double forms of comparison are used, e.g She was getting worser and worser. 5 Adverbs They are expressive when used as intensifiers, e.g horribly smart, terribly polite, awfully pleased, frightfully charming, to love fearfully (awfully). They give a colloquial touch. They are expressive because here we find two incompatible/contrasted words put together. We call such construction oxymoron.

The ending er or est added to longer adjectives violates the norm and has different functions: to suggest excitement, humor, poor education (e.g. "It is getting curiouser and curiouser." "She was the beautifulest woman."). For the sake of humor or for efficient advertising the endings er and est are added to "bad", "good", "many" (e.g. "She is the baddest listener").

Sometimes continuous tenses are more polite and mild (e.g. "He is not feeling too well today.")

Good night: but go not to mine uncle's bed; Assume a virtue, if you have it not. That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat, Of habits devil, is angel yet in this, That to the use of actions fair and good He likewise gives a frock or livery, That aptly is put on. Refrain to-night, And that shall lend a kind of easiness To the next abstinence: the next more easy; For use almost can change the stamp of nature,
