Rosie, I could pretty much quote everything that everyone said earlier. You are such a dear friend and sweet sister in Christ. I've so enjoyed getting to know you. You have always been so encouraging, so sincere, so focused on our Lord. You always inspire me to keep pressing on. Happy birthday, Rosie! God bless you as follow and learn more about Him.

Happy late birthday to Mr. Wright!

(And by the way, assuming we're using the broadest sense of the word "universe", we all have the best dad in the universe. We really should be debating who has the second-best dad in the universe. :-P)

Well, my dad is *really* the most bestestly awesomest dad ever, but I hope your dad had a great birthday all the same ;)

Well, my dad is _*really*_ the most bestestly awesomest dad _ever_, but I hope your dad had a great birthday all the same ;)

Let's break that into parts:

  1. really
  2. most
  3. best
  4. -est
  5. awesome
  6. -est
  7. ever
    Here's mine:
  8. most
  9. -est
  10. -est
  11. best
  12. -est
  13. -est

As a preliminary note, I should mention that as I used it, the adjective "best" carries with it both the ideas of "most" and "good (whether morally or else is academic)". Your "best" is in adverb form, and thus modifies "awesome". It does not carry with it the idea of being "good", but really only means "most good at being awesome". Since both are just adjectives, my "good" and your "awesome" pretty much cancel each other.

We see that your sentence contains four superlatives: most, best, -est, -est. "Really" is nothing more than an intensifier, so it cannot itself be considered a superlative - but still probably worth half a point, however. On the whole, you have a superlative worth 4.5 points.
Then we come to the adverb "ever". This merely has relation to time, saying that there never was a dad at the 4.5 superlative level except yours. It thus has no value if someone else has a dad whose superlative level is greater than 4.5.

Such as… well, mine. My sentence contains six superlatives: most, -est, -est, best, -est, -est. Superlative level 6. Thus, your "ever" is of no effect.

However, I can't say that my sentence actually indicates that I have the better dad. I really think they're about even, if we add a slight point value for your "good" in "good at being awesome", and perhaps for the bold and italics you gave the really. Besides, we both get negative points for bad grammar. :P

And to all of that I respond: xD xP Lol! I should have taken into consideration the worth of superlatives before posting that XD
