      With most two-syllable adjectives, you form the comparative with more and the superlative with most.
      If the two-syllable adjectives ends with –y, change the y to i and add –er for the comparative form. For the superlative form change the y to i and add –est.
      lucid enough?

      or do you need lucider????

          Not actually a word.

          That's a classic Fat Yankism: if you don't like the existing words in the English language, make your own up and then insist that they're the right ones.

          (cf. Jim Lampley talks about Joe "Calzacky")
          Actually, "Anyways" is a word that first appeared in Book of Common Prayer around 1560. A Fat Brit might have invented it.

          Here's the entry in the OED:

          anyways, adv. and conj.

          Pronunciation: /ˈɛnɪweɪz/
          Etymology: any adj. and pron. + ways, adverbial genitive, as in always adv.
          A. adv. In any way, in any respect, at all.

          c1560 Bk. Common Prayer, All those who are any ways afflicted‥in mind, body, or estate.
          a1628 J. Preston Mount Ebal (1638) 10 As the Rudder of a ship, which turnes it any wayes.
          1673 J. Ray Observ. Journey Low-countries Ded., If either Catalogue or Observations prove any ways useful.
          1794 R. Southey Wat Tyler iii. i, Who may have been anyways concerned in the late insurrections.
          1832 T. De Quincey Cæsars in Blackwood's Edinb. Mag. Dec. 952/2 Nor was such an interference‥any ways injurious.
          (Hide quotations)

          B. conj. In any case, at all events, anyhow. dial. or illiterate.

          1865 ****ens Our Mutual Friend I. ii. xii. 271 Anyways,‥I am glad etc.

            I'm sorry, you seemed to indicate that "******est" is not a word but of course you can't have been doing that because "******est" is in fact a word.

              in the same manner that 'could care less' is indeed valid, as pointed out by Mr Bell


              be incorrect long enough and its accepted as correct

                Not really. "Could care less" is an obvious corruption of "Couldn't care less" and is used to mean the same thing when it in fact says the exact opposite. Language does indeed evolve over time but to suggest that an idiom like "could care less" could accurately mean the same thing as "couldn't care less" is complete nonsense.

                      Saying "i could care less" means you actually care because you could care less.
