WARNING - this is only humor. Do not attempt this in real life!
Someone was recently telling me about a computer word game that recognized numbers as adjectives, and so permitted forms like "twelve, twelver, twelvest." He explained their usage as follows:
Compare 12.2, 12.6 and 12.9.
12.6 is twelver than 12.9, but 12.2 is the twelvest of them all.
Okay, go ahead - move this to the humor section if you must.
