HI BOSS!!!! i have a quastion ☝️ regarding superlative ☝️ how does latif find out about the Clark Is Superman thing.... and Follow Up Quastion ☝️ does it significantly change their dynamic at all... especially considering he told superman hey i have a crush on u(r alter ego)......

HI HENCHMAN !!! see ive been thinking abt this .. bc in the continuities ive seen clark himself just tells lois himself that hes superman so i think the same goes for superlative but the important part is when he tells him. i think he would tell him only after they start dating (like very early into their relationship bc he feels bad abt hiding such a big secret from his own boyfriend)

before dating tho, now that clark knows that latif actlly likes likes him, telling latif hes superman would kinda. negate the need for a traditional confession. and for now clark (read: me) just wants a regular confession bc he doesnt wanna embarrass latif. if he confesses instead, no one suffers the embarrassment of potentially getting rejected bc clark knows latif likes him back but latif doesnt know clark likes him back yk

as for if the reveal changes their dynamic at all i would say yes! sure around others latif has to act like hes not dating superman but when theyre alone it feels too silly to act like hes a completely different person. latif likes to joke that he'll have to be careful abt revealing stuff around superman bc he'll "tell clark" hehe. hes also less nervous around clark when hes not off saving the world bc now he knows hes been opening up to him the whole time + theyre dating. it's moreso on latif's side of things bc clark obviously knows who latif in both his identities

Bonus 89: The best and worst comparatives episode

Have you ever seen a sign saying "This city's best pizza" or a mug saying " World's greatest teacher" and been...sort of skeptical? Or how about saying something like "you're my best sister" if you only have one sister? Words like better and best, greater and greatest are ways of comparing things, and sometimes they start feeling weird if the groups of things being compared are too large or too small.

In this bonus episode, Gretchen and Lauren get enthusiastic about ways of comparing things to each other. We talk about why comparisons get weird when the groups are too large or too small, the hidden etymological connection between more and most, how we choose between er/est and more/most (and why "funner" is really more logical), and how English has more ways of making comparatives than many other languages. We also talk about strategies that other languages use for making comparatives (such as "to me, you are tall" and "this house is big. that house is very big."), why some words are harder to make comparative (can someone be more unique or more pregnant?), and how to play Wavelength, a fun board game that's all about silly comparatives. Listen to this episode about ways of comparing things to each other, and get access to many more bonus episodes by supporting Lingthusiasm on Patreon.
