Good, Better, Best. Never Let it Rest
When I was a kid, my mom would tell me this rhyme:
Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Till you good gets better
And your better is best.
So I wonder what she'll make of the choices my scanner presents. The tangle of comparatives here is thick. Is "best" better and faster than "excellent" or is "excellent" somehow bester? And the speed. Nothing is the slowest, but "excellent," which may or may not be the bester setting, is slower.
My poor brain is hurtinger than it's been in a while. This isn't the confusedest I've ever been, but it's the closerest I've come in quite some time.
