Vocabulary
The most simple / simplest / simpliest
Hi ^^
What is the correct comparative and superlative forms for the word "simple"?
I'd say "simplest" because it's a short word and I was taught to use -est ending with short words, but I'v eoccasionally seen people using "the most simple". Similarly, do we use "simpler" or "more simple"?
I'm also a bit confused about the word "simpliest". Is it ever used at all or it's wrong?
Thanks ^^

They are both correct forms. Sometimes you may even hear "the most high" etc.

What about "simpliest"? Is it ever correct to use?

Well, the superlatives of simple are (the) simplest and (the) most simple so I wonder whether "simpliest" is actually the superlative of simply. I'm not really sure about this so you may want to wait to hear from other contributors.
