I of course want to reject this out of hand, but it's better to be thoughtful. PRO: - Enable changing of minds without being shackled to former identity? CON: - Now a statement that is incontestably true can be ILLEGAL and a LIABILITY

So many replies here! In my opinion none of them make a case that either -er or -est is more grammatical than the other. Even if this case is not the singular strangest, that does not mean it cannot be a member of ("one of") the s

This comment taught me a word. Separately, you are completely correct and this is extremely valid in the design of rating systems.

Oh — probably something like that, yeah. I have uBlock installed in Safari. Nice fallback (to just “my city”). It gets the intent across just fine, third-party failure (or client-side blocking) be damned :)

If you are indeed Mexican, the subjunctive shouldn’t apply anymore, as there is no doubt/speculation/hope involved. (Caveat: Non-native and also a bit rusty)

Ubeam, of course. I guess you are referring to the top comment by cperciva, about the company that banked on communications speeds surpassing the speed of light? I’m curious, too.

But Lyft is now partially owned by General Motors, who have every incentive to make Lyft the winner here.
