Cathy: This travel mug is perfect for Marcia. Irving: Great. Get it! Cathy: What could go with it? Irving: It doesn't need anything. It's perfect. Cathy: It would be more perfect if it had something with it. Ta da! A matching cookie jar! Isn't that more perfect?? Irving: Great. Get them both! Cathy: What could go with them? Irving: You have two perfect things! You don't need anything to go with them! Cathy: The two perfect things need some little things! Little cookie cutters... little packs of hot chocolate powder... little matching Santa plates and napkins... Cu-u-u-te! Saleswoman: May I help you? Irving: Hide everything else in the store that matches! The Perfect Gift: Is Never Quite Finished.
Uh, Cathy… there’s no such thing as “more perfect.” Either something is perfect or it isn’t. “Perfect,” like “unique,” is an absolute adjective and does not take comparative or superlative forms.
