As a non-native speaker I might add that "quiet" is a lot like a one syllable word, and AFAIK "most stupid" is still ok to use, isn't it?

- talmand 12y agoMy twelve plus years of English classes would suggest that "most stupid" is more correct than "stupidest".
- PeterWhittaker 12y agoTo me, "most stupid" sounds hipster or foreign, while stupidest just sounds right - in normal speech. "He is the most stupid" is perhaps more memorable for sounding off: It's natural to emphasize "most". Is he more stupid or stupider? I would say stupid, stupider, stupidest, red, redder or more red, reddest, and brilliant, more brilliant, most brilliant, but smart, smarter, smartest.
