All you do is boost her ego and make it harder for average looking guys to have a chance. Plus they've probably been hearing it their whole life anyway. You aren't breaking any new ground. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <Sir> yeah, I work with a very exotic looking young lady who is also very shy. 3 or 4 times a day someone will tell her how beautiful she is and it makes her uncomfortable each time. I think the same thing about not breaking new ground and wonder what possesses men to keep saying it. |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | SirRuthless: Yes, I forgot about that effect. It can make a woman who is timid and shy even more timid and shy. There is the slim chance you will brighten someone's day but it usually just bugs them. |

 | | HeMateMe: this is interesting Huff Post says there is a sort of social divide among northern and southern Indians, based on skin color: "Do a Google search of historical and recent Miss India winners and other top-billed Bollywood actresses, and you’ll see why Indians collectively spend more on skin-whitening products than they do on Coca Cola (about $470 million), including creams, face cleansers, shower gels and — I’m not kidding — vaginal washes. The industry is supported by the Bollywood stars themselves, who do ad campaigns for major companies like Fair & Lovely. A typical ad has a movie star tossing a tube of lightening cream to a dark-skinned fan, who miraculously transforms into a star also." So, females there spend a lot of money on skin lightening products (does that actually work?), as it somehow makes them feel better or gives them a competitive advantage. I thought you had to go the Michael Jackson route to change your skin color, which seems kind of awful. They note that Ash Rai, a former miss Universe, has brown hair and green eyes, a rarity among Indians. <https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP....> <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/asha-...> |

 | | Octavia: Hi Tania, I agree with Simon - I enjoyed your comments about London! I noticed that you don't know that enlg has 2 comparatives: the Latin is the one you try to use all the time with 'more'. But it's only correct with long adjectives coming historically from France. Most short adjectives come from Germany & don't use 'more'. They change their endings only: fairer, sweeter, cuter etc. Of course you know 'good,better, best' as an exception. If you're stuck it's a good idea to look at the length of the word as I said: beautiful has 3 syllables & is most likely coming from France & therefore needs 'more' & no change of ending. But when its a short word, shorter is the way to use it! & shortest is the superlative! hope you can see this. It's easier when you've thought about it & after a wee bit of practise it's easiest! |

As a point of style, you may personally prefer using the suffix "-er" to the adverb "more", where that's a reasonable option, and I wouldn't disagree with you about that, but people regularly use "more" with all kinds of adjectives, including short Germanic ones, including the ones you mentioned by name. As a matter of fact, "more" itself is a Germanic word, so it would be rather odd if it could be used only with words of non-Germanic origin! |
