By tradition, the word fun is a noun. “That was fun,” but it can be used as an “attributive noun,” which transforms the word to function as an adjective as in, “this is a fun post.”
Where wordsmiths and spell checkers really get annoyed is the use of the comparative and superlative adjective forms of “funner” and “funnest” instead of the more proper “more fun” or “most fun.”
More grammar references however are accepting “funner” and “funnest.”
Tell me Prez Trump ain’t great, he’s slaying the grammar Nazis now.
That was more worser than I thought.

This post is the badest.
In reality, I’m still chapped over the acceptance of flounder for founder.
Ships founder, countries founder, companies founder, armies founder.
Flounder swim and are tasty.
Some people do fun things more funly than others.
Who does fun things the funliest, do you think?
Oh what fun she must be at the party!
I enjoyed that bigly!
I will never forget the time I was a cook and just scorched the pots.
I thought the crazy dishwasher dude would be pissed.
He just shrugged and said “No big deal. It’s more funner this way.”
It’s stuck with me ever since. When something sucky is coming my way, I just tell myself “It’s more funner this way.”
“Flounder” also competed in the primaries; his performance was abysmal, as were sales of his ‘guac bowl.’
funny. She didnt look like a grammar nazi. I pictured black riding pants, long leather coats, sinister skulls on caps and riding crops.
I would never use the word “funnest” when describing my funny bone. Someone might think it was humerus.
I have an affection for spoonerisms, grammatical and syllabic liberties.
I always tuned in when Norm Crosby was on the tube.
Funny how funny. funny ones can be.
Funny how funny, funny ones can be
More backsliding of the language because people are too stupid and/or lazy to learn the rules.
math is hard, bigly unfun,
It takes few characters to write funner or funnest, then to set the sentence up for the proper usage of more fun, or most fun.
“More grammar references however are accepting “funner” and “funnest.”
… that’s ’cause we’re getting dummer & dummerest

If you can have badder and baddest, why not gooder and goodest? He was the badder of the bad guys but not the baddest bad ass in town. The gooder guy won the contest but was not the goodest at being good. And don’t forget goody two shoes, those annoying people who like to be gooder than you are and are self righteously good (or gooder) to boot. Now wasn’t that too much funner than just being plain fun.
The use of “funner” and “funnest” will still get you a failing grade on English tests.
