Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while

While we're on the subject, I know most teachers tell us that "aint" is not a word. "Ain't" is a word; it's a contraction made up of the words "am" and "not". Amn't just doesn't sound right. "Ain't" is not proper grammar but it is a word.

It annoys me when a person says "more better".

That's right, the proper way to say it is "betterer".

My brother likes to talk about his "most favoritest <insert topic here>". I like to think/hope that he is just doing that to annoy us, but I'm not sure.
