Is "better" better than "good"?

Question

thanx all contributors ... no points.

i know the degrees... and i dont agree that better is always below good.

good < better < best

i agree it all depend on the context.

consider this

1. bad ... better = good ... better = best

2. worst ... better = bad ... better = good

3. then hows "better than the best"

Answer 1

yes

good (worst out of the three)

better (second out of the three)

best (best)

Answer 2

better is officially a measure of things,

but its slightly worse than good

Answer 3

No.

&quot;Good&quot; implies that the subject is above average.

&quot;Better&quot; implies that the subject had been not acceptable but is making some progress. It still might be below par.

Answer 4

It depends on context:

1) A new Chevy is good; a new Rolls is better.

2) Gruel is better than mud to eat, but it&#039;s still not good.
