But what is the adverb "more" doing modifying a noun? The mind reels in a miasma of mangled syntax.

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.
