With the inflation of rhetoric, I think we need some new words to compensate. I don’t think I overexaggerate when I say there is literally to the letter billions of better than Jesus reasons to introduce a fourth degree of adjectives, the extreeeeemetive.

In the boring “regular” form it adds an impressive adverb of degree in front of the adjective.

Example (regular adjective):
positive: nice, comparative: nicer, superlative: the nicest, extreeeeemetive: the totally nicest

Example (irregular adjective):
positive: good, comparative: better, superlative: the best, extreeeeemetive: this status update

Extreeeeemetive can be used in any place where comparative is normally used for much the completely clearest language use. To replace a superlative just make the extreeeeemetive of the extreeeeemetive of a word. That’s the totally extremely nicest form and will help everybody better understand how much you hate Justin Bieber or bad things.

I like to think that linguistics works exactly like this post except that instead of writing inane random ideas in Facebook posts, they put them in dictionaries.
