Fw: Is this a good idea or a waste of time?

It is, but technically it's not. English is more bizarrer that that..
It depends or the number of syllables in the word: one or two, add
'-er'; three or more (or if the two-syllable-er word "sounds lame"),
use "more"...

English, the perl of natural languages.. lol (Apparently Dutch is
pretty weird too..)

Peace,

*grin* my Dutch is Dangerous - its actually Afrikaans - a highly simplified
variant that is poison to good Dutch...

I like the rule about the syllables - would never remember it in the heat of
battle though...
