Funner is a word....

Since I started teaching this year I noticed that I act like a teacher all day. When I am out with friends I will correct their mistakes. I will paraphrase myself a million times. I might even throw some comprehension questions into the middle of a discussion just to make sure that I've got every one's attention! ;o)
My friends don't enjoy this much. I think most of them hate it when I correct their English. I guess sometimes I pick the wrong time to do it also... just kinda kill the mood of the conversations with my little pronunciation lessons.....
Anyway.. back to something important....
About 2 weeks ago I was talking and I cannot remember what I was talking about.. but I know that I was comparing 2 things...
I said "something" was FUNNER than "something" else. So... My friends had a field day with that one. Commenting on how I can never correct anyone again.. on how they will never send their kids to the school I work at and so on...
They would not accept my explanation that it has to be a word because the comparative and superlative rules say that all one syllable adjectives take -er and -est....
So, I tried to act like it was a joke.. but I was pissed. I hate being wrong.. I hate feeling like an idiot!!! (But my friends were funny about it..)
They were nice enough to actually create and use the word funner in everyday conversation... to make me feel better!
But..... I don't need you!!!!
Funner actually is a word!!!! It is informal but it is a word....
The story behind it is that fun was actually only used as a noun (and there are no comparative or superlative for nouns).. but language evolved and so did the word fun. It has recently been used as an adjective... but it was never officially and adjective.. so the rules were kinda never set out for it.
So, funner and funnest are actual words.. they're informal but they are still words...
You can read the article if you are interested....

So.. I guess that means that I was right and you were wrong... (I told you so... )
Damn, I love being right!!!!

This is the funnest post I have ever written!
