Darth Vader and the Word 'Father.' Comparatives and Superlatives

Informações:

Synopsis

931. Darth Vader wasn't the best father (understatement!), but his name is a wonderful jumping off point to discuss the origin of the word "father." Plus, we explain why I said he wasn't the "best" father and not that he wasn't the "better" father. | Transcript:  https://grammar-girl.simplecast.com/episodes/darth-vader-and-the-word-father/transcript| The "father" segment was written by Valerie Fridland.
