What is the comparative and superlative word of fair?

Here's how the comparative and superlative forms of "fair" work, along with some explanations:

Comparative:

* Fairer (more fair) - This is the standard form and is used when comparing two things.

* More fair - This is a more formal way of saying fairer, but it's less common.

Superlative:

* Fairest (most fair) - This is used to compare three or more things and indicates the most fair among them.

* Most fair - This is a more formal way of saying fairest, but it's less common.

Things to Note:

* Context: The choice of comparative or superlative depends on the context.

* Formal vs. Informal: "Fairer" and "fairest" are the standard forms. "More fair" and "most fair" are more formal.

* Other Meanings: "Fair" can also refer to a gathering or a fair price. These meanings don't use "fairer" or "fairest."

Example:

* "This judge is fairer than the last one." (comparative)

* "She was the fairest of them all." (superlative)
