More Full

Answer 2

Depends partly on context, but I would say 'fuller' in most contexts. In a way, 'full' can't have a comparative, since a thing is either full or it is not, there is no halfway point to 'full'. But in common speech 'fuller' or 'more full' is heard.

Answer 3

Probably neither, if you want to be pedantic about it. It's either full or it's not. That's probably why the others seem to see a problem with "fuller" which would be the expected form for a one-syllable word.

Answer 4

Correct English grammar would state 'more full'

Answer 5

more full

Answer 6

more full
