Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use "more upper" or "most upper" instead of "uppermost". "Uppermost" already means the most important or the most high, so it does not take "more" or "most" before it. They may also confuse "uppermost" with "upper"; use "uppermost" when you want to stress that something is the single most important, not just higher.
Betydning
