fairerer

Fairerer is a nonstandard or jocular form of the comparative adjective fair, intended to mean “more fair.” It is not recognized as standard English and is rarely found outside informal, humorous, or creative contexts. In formal writing, speakers are generally expected to use fairer or more fair.

In English, the usual comparative is formed with -er (fairer) or with more (more fair). The appearance of fairerer is typically a playful or deliberate deviation from standard grammar, sometimes used to imitate dialect, parody pedantry, or emphasize an exaggerated sense of fairness. Because it diverges from common usage, it is most often perceived as stylistic rather than grammatical.

Etymologically, fairerer is created by taking the base adjective fair and adding a second -er, a pattern that occasionally appears as a joke or affectation when writers want to push the idea of fairness to an absurd degree. It is not a productive or regular part of English morphology and is not taught as a standard form.

Usage and reception: fairerer is best regarded as nonstandard. Dictionary entries from major sources typically do not list it as a standard variant, and prescriptive guides discourage its use in formal prose. It may appear in humorous writing, comic dialogue, or online memes where authors seek a playful or ironic effect.
