I had this question for my English exam a few years back. I've puzzled over this for quite some time. Which do you think would be the more appropriate answer?
The question is-
These roses are ____________(reddish/oranger) in color than the others.
According to the rules of grammar, reddish doesn't signify comparision, because it has the suffix "-ish". Comparision is mostly denoted by suffix "-er". Get what I mean? On the other hand, there's no word called "oranger". My teacher pointed this out and said that oranger is wrong. But again, some people told me that "oranger" would be more accurate, especially as "than" signifies comparision.
