Tip:
Make sure that you do not create a double comparative or superlative.
Comparative:
Incorrect: Joe was more sloppier than I expected.
Correct: Joe was sloppier than I expected.
Sloppier is already the comparative form of sloppy, so do not add on another comparative (more).

Superlative:
Incorrect: Joe was the most busiest person I've ever met.
Correct: Joe was the busiest person I've ever met.
Busiest is already the superlative form of busy, so do nto add on another superlative (most).
