(1,264 posts)2. Obviously a "perfecter" is a noun, one who perfects.
But what is the adverb "more" doing modifying a noun? The mind reels in a miasma of mangled syntax.

As follower of Perfectationism I want to be sure to get it rightly.

Anyone else remember those Kraft Mac and Cheese commercials with the kids saying they liked it because it was "more cheesier"?
That was the first thing I thought of, when I saw the tite on this post. It was a while back, but I can't remember how far back, just that those ads made me want to facepalm, every time.
