I've seen this question asked before, and yes, I believe that saying "this tree is more unique than another" is faulty grammer. I can't help but think, though, that nothing is absolute, unique cannot be absolute. True, everything is unique is some aspect, but take this example: Two girls who both have excellent singing voices are performing the same solo. One sings it exactly as it is written, and the other adds embellishments that she feels enhances the piece. I, as a musician, feel that these additions could be classified as making the piece 'more unique' than just singing the song as it was written. I keep finding arguments for both sides of this issue, but I cannot come to any conclusion of my own (My mom and brother even had an hour long debate about this without any sort of solution). What do you think?
