Comparative and superlative forms of adjectives

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. They explain that, generally, one-syllable words take the suffixes 'er' and 'est' to form the comparative and superlative forms, respectively. For example, 'crazy' becomes 'crazier' and 'craziest.' However, they also mention exceptions to this rule. Some one-syllable words, like 'right' and 'wrong,' use 'more' and 'most' instead. The hosts provide specific examples and emphasize that fluent speakers sometimes take liberties with the language for emphasis or communication purposes.
