@BillOakey I'm trying to understand what kind of answer you're looking for. Blacker and blackest are both commonly used words. Do not use more black which just sounds awkward. It sounds to me that your dictionary is deficient or overly pedantic.

comment Is the term “would-be” just an Indian usage or universal?
In American English, I've heard "intended" which I quite like.

comment How should “The Cloud” be capitalized?
@SteveChambers I encourage you to switch your "accept" answer and your policy. See my comment below: english.stackexchange.com/questions/112511/…

comment How should “The Cloud” be capitalized?
@Steve I encourage you to switch your "accept" (and your capitalization policy) to the other answer. We do not capitalize based on "the concept" vs. "the reality" as the other answer argues. Otherwise, we'd talk about Love or about Processor Speed. Instead, we capitalize based on proper nouns, which "the cloud" is not.

comment How should I use the phrasal verb “to d**k around”?
@tchrist there aren't many words we'd wildcard-out here (dork is not one of those). Two of those words match **ck and can easily fit into this sentence. When I saw the title, I read it as the other.

"to **ck around" is ambiguous
