...Which would be the highest order of being stupid - most stupid or stupidest? Or are they the same?
In Brit you can be "most stupid" without being the "stupidest." However, if you are regarded as being stupid above all others, you are the "stupidest."

That makes sense.

Most stupid and stupidest would be equivalent.
Most stupidist would always be incorrect.
Because it's redundant, right?
I get it. I have to wait a while to rep you guys again.
Just as saying that something is "more better" is redundant and thus is incorrect, saying "more stupider" is redundant, and as a result it is incorrect.

I could give her some recommendations for good reading lights if she wishes, but perhaps she just needs to take a break...
