more happy as a comparative
I wonder if "more happy" could be used as a comparative. For example, "He is more happy than me". Is this sentence grammatically correct?
Solution 1:
As John Lawler says in comment above, 'happier' is generally better. But 'more happy' appears quite commonly in literature (example from Anthony Trollope, another from Anne Thackeray) and in expressions such as "7 ways to be more happy".
