Hi @hovdos, thank you for your input!
I’ve checked the following sentences:
- He is more old than me.
- He is more silly than me.
- This is the most silly game.
- He is the most old person in this room.
The first two sentences are detected by SHORT_COMPARATIVES (old is in the list of adjectives!), the second pair of sentences is covered by SHORT_SUPERLATIVES.
But: You are right in saying that the list is incomplete. The adjective ‘happy’ is not in there, for example. I’ve added it now, so that the following mistakes will be found from tomorrow on:
- You are more happy than I.
- You are the most happy person I know.
I would say that, having those two rules, making sure the ENTITY short_adjectives is complete is sufficient to cover the problems you addressed here. Do you agree?
Do you have any suggestions for more mono- or bisyllabic adjectives that form their comparative and superlative forms synthetically (i.e. using -er and -est)?
