Hi everyone!
I just wonder which of these two is the proper way, "the sexiest" or "the most sexy". I bring this up because I've heard some native English speakers saying "the most sexy...". I'm not sure, though.

Thanks!

Hi,

Both 'superlatives' are the same in meaning and use. This is usually possible providing the adjective is a maximum of two syllables: 'easy' 'the easiest' but 'the most difficult'.
