From:Airymouse- PM Date: 02 Nov 14 - 08:48 AM As you can probably guess my teacher, whom we called "The Duck," was rather weird. He thought (incorrectly) that "in order to form a more perfect union" was a false comparative, Sorry, I'm with "The Duck" on this one. "Perfect" is absolute. If something is perfect it cannot become more perfect. As usage of english goes, this use is "almost unique" :)
