Funner!!??

[Justforlaughs]

So is "funner" a word? My DCs think so. I insist that it should be "more fun" but if I am right now how long before THEY are?

My 3 year old says funner, always makes me smile.

I'd smile if they were 3 Captain, they are between 12 and 20!

This drives me barmy!

I've had one or two pupils who say things like "I wish school was funner"

I'm tempted to reply; "Yeah? And I wish I had pupils who were articulater!"

Love funner. OP you have embiggened my vocabulary.

I've only ever heard it in Legally Blonde.

"OMG! It'll be like last summer! But, like, way funner!" Or something.

It exists in Teen world , and in America!

That is where mine decided it worked.

Yes, but Americans say things like "I dove into the pool" or "I snuck away"

I wish school was funner??? OMG.. from a 3 year old acceptable of course but still needs corrected.

As annoying as this?

I won him.

NO! You BEAT him, or you won.

Grrrr..

What ever you do, don't go out to buy a nokia :) kolkata.olx.in/nokia-lumia-800-easier-faster-funner-brand-new-and-box-pack-just-rs-10000-only-iid-533531570

I was once told that I was "much more funner" than my sister....by our little 6 year old cousin.
So it is a word now :)

"I won him"??

Not heard that... Yet.

It's on a par with one of my other pet hates: saying something is on "the floor" when it is outside

It is on the ground if it is outdoors. Floors are inside buildings.

Funnerer, surely

sal I use "snuck"

Must have got it from DH. Yes, I'll blame him I think!

Yes - it's funnerer quite obviously.

Fun, funner, funnerer. That's how it goes.

And funnest

It is much more harder. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Much more - leave it at that. Harder - leave it at that. Together: NEVER!

Funner? NEVER, EVER, EVER!

The other one DS uses: "It was so fun." NO NO NO NO NO!!! It was so MUCH fun.

Is English actually taught in schools nowadays?

(PS all grammatical and spelling errors in this post are intended in an ultra cool kind of ironic way. Innit!)

Don't Americans also use "darling" as an adjective?

"Oh that baby/dress/house is soooo darling"

sal yes, they do.

It took me ages to get that.

Ok my dd age 8 still says things like "putted" not as in golf but as in put. Stood becomes "steaded", hurt becomes hurted. Aaaarrgghh I keep pulling her up. My family and I all look at each other open mouthed? When will she stop speaking like a toddler? Next she will be asking for cutted up pear Ffs

We still laugh at our daughter who told us about the time she 'sprant' all the way round the running track :)

I said 'badder' today... What a prat

I think Apple use funner too.

It is very wrong and an excellent reason to avoid them.

I knew a guy once who was teaching his daughter how to drive. She was approaching a junction too quickly and he was saying "brake... Brake....BRAKE!"

And she shouted back 'I've broken!!"
