Dear Unfunners,

Here at WMU, perhaps as an index of how high our learning actually
is, I hear (endure) my students say things all the time like, "That
party was so much funner than the other one," and, "It was the
funnest!" and, just recently, "What was more funner?" These are
evolutionary steps beyond, "It was so fun!" which has been more
frequenter here in Michigan for ca. 10 years.

Definitely unfun for me to listen to, but when the comparative and
superlative forms and the 'more' intensified comparative form are
part of the daily lingual fracas, you just get labelled as a fun
sucker (no double entendre intended by undergrad speakers) if you
even mention it. So I've given up on this one; complaining and trying
to re-direct through instruction is the least funnest than it used to
be.

Oral language: More funner than ever!
