Grammar Pet Peeve: People Who Use Most + [adjective]+est


  • “This professor is most smartest person I know”
  • “That was the most hottest girl I’ve ever seen in my life”
  • “Your mom is the most sluttiest person ever”

This makes me cringe to no end. This is absolutely insane. Pick one or the other. If you use most, we already know that it’s the utmost, extreme state and cannot be anymore. If you use a word suffixed with -est, it means the same thing. If you combine them both, it’s idiotic. It’s the most ignorantthing I’ve ever heard.

If you speak like this and you are over 7 years old, you’re a moron and “don’t speak no English good.”
