    Usage notes

    While funner'' is a regular comparative of the adjective ''fun'', the comparative ''more fun'' is much more common. The use of ''fun'' as an adjective is itself still often seen as informal''American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language'', 4th edition, 2000. (web version) or casualEdith Hope Fine, Judith Pinkerton Josephson, ''More Nitty-Gritty Grammar,'' 2001. [http://www.bartleby.com/61/11/F0361100.html] and to be avoided in formal writing, and this would apply equally to the comparative form. Merriam-Webster gives ''fun'' as an adjective without comment, and states that ''funner'' and ''funnest are "sometimes" used[http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=fun&x=0&y=0.
