unique
Winston Dictionary for Schools 1942 : unlike anything else, without an equal
American Heritage College Dictionary 1993 : being the only one of its kind ;
without an equal or equivalent ; unparalleled ; text then follows with notes on
usage making it clear that there is no such thing as Uniqu-er, uniqu-est
there are no gradients or degrees of Unique !
there cant be One Of A Kind more or most or less or least
if there is more than one of a kind then it is no longer unique
it may be interesting or exciting or unusual or even rare but it can only be
UNIQUE if there is only one of them
Skaterina confesses that she does, indeed, read dictionaries
not just to look up definitions, meanings, and usages
she sits down and reads a page or two from time to time
she is so much fun that way / smile
Rodale Synonym Finder (her favorite book) synonyms are words that have
the same or similar sense of another word
Unique can have more than one synonym
