In Physical Science today we had a clicker quiz (that's just where you click in your answers with a remote--the quiz is on the PowerPoint slide), and the question read: If the earth's crust floats on top of the interior of the earth, what does that say about the density of the interior of the crust? The answer to that question is that the interior of the earth is more dense than the crust; hence, the crust floats. The correct answer on the slide read: "more denser." I purposely answered incorrectly because I wasn't about to answer a question with "more denser." As an editor, grammarain, and logophile, it's just a matter of principle.

I don't know if I'd ever miss a question on a test for grammatical issues. I totally understand though why you would.
Are you getting excited for The Office?
All this crust talk makes me want pie, who's with me?
More denser. Good grief! I say, way to stick to your principles!
Good for you Charlotte! I'm with you- and I support your decision.
Plus it really makes me miss you! I love you!~
