Learn English – “The most rude” or “the rudest”

Rude comparative ruder superlative rudest

But the most rude is applied in the following title:

The Most Rude, ill-Mannered, and Humiliating Plays in NBA History!

Can we use both forms for any circumstance?

Best Answer

The Most Rude, ill-Mannered, and Humiliating Plays in NBA History!

If we use rudest here, we would have to still use "most" for the other adjectives:

The Rudest, Most ill-Mannered, and Most Humiliating Plays in NBA History!

The title uses "most" to apply to all three adjectives, because "ill-Manneredest" is a word I've never seen nor would wish to see in a title, unless written in jest, and there's no "humiliatingest".

Hence, the most logical, or logicalest, way is just to attach "most" at the start of the title.
