(Saw a typo, had a random thought) The joke “English is important, but Math is importanter” could and perhaps should be told as “English is important, but Math iser important.” It seems to me (at times more strongly), that there should be comparative and superlative forms of verbs, not just adjectives and adverbs. To express the thrust of *doing smth. more* / *happening more*, when no adjectival comparison quite suffices.
