Righter?
Hi
The dictionary says "right" can be put in the superlative and the comparative. So, instead of "will the world be better then?", can I say, "will the world be righter then?" ? Or, instead of "a better world", say "a righter world", in all these cases without a change in meaning, and "right" used as the synonym of "good"?
Thanks.

Only very casually. But I don't think good and right are synonymous at all - just ask a Republican and a Democrat.
