| Sep 11, 2020 at 13:17 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | ELU is all about accuracy. 'Colorless green ideas sleeps furiously' is ungrammatical as well as unacceptable on other grounds. | |
| Sep 11, 2020 at 10:50 | comment | added | Anton | @EdwinAshworth I think that is what I imply by "inelegant and pedantic". I am not suggesting that it is grammatical. For those who chose not to take the implication, I have now made the ungrammatical nature of the notion entirely explicit. Thank you for alerting me so considerately to the chance of adverse marking. | |

| Sep 11, 2020 at 10:31 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | 'He is the more intelligent of anyone' is ungrammatical and will soon attract a downvote. | |

| Sep 11, 2020 at 9:53 | comment | added | Anton | @Edwin I am sorry to argue that I don't need to correct it. I did not change the pointer to the inelegance and have merely added GJC's improvement in that context. I have made slight changes to the layout so as to make this clearer. Thank you. | |
| Sep 11, 2020 at 9:46 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | No, you still haven't corrected 'To say he is the more intelligent of anyone, although logically justified ...'. | |

Constructive comment from GJC is now included in the answer.

| Sep 11, 2020 at 9:36 | comment | added | Anton | I like your simplification and have marked it up. If only the Heritage people had thought like that! | |
| Sep 11, 2020 at 8:44 | comment | added | GJC | he is the more intelligent of anyone, shouldn't it read either more intelligent THAN anyone or the most intelligent of everyone? | |
