The Corner notes how the interrogator at the University of Delaware residence thinks the opposite of “best” is “worse”, and surmises that grammar is just a form of societal oppression. Rather, I think the interrogator did it deliberately. After all, we don’t want to demean anyone by calling him/her the “worst”, as that would clearly be emotional rape.
If any readers are unaware of the whole University of Delaware story, go here and read up on it (it involves juicy indoctrination!).
