Hesitates to venture that "more correct" isn't itself great English ... :)


I prefer it over correcter, and happen to believe there are various degrees of correct.


Grammar purists consider “correct” to be an absolute non-gradable adjective, I believe - though colloquially have at it and do whatever suits your written voice. I only mentioned it in contrast to the insistence that, er, one should use one rather than them - which to my written voice is a tad too formal.
