It's late, or early, whatever you consider 3:08 AM to be. Just doing some editing for my dissertation and my brain isn't functioning as quickly as it normally does (which isn't very quick to begin with, but anyway):

Poll srs bsns

Yeah, I realise the second meaning as well, as in a lower-class person. The second question is a little misleading; the sentence calls for the superlative of common i.e. most common = commonest?? I said "commonest" because AFAIK there isn't any sort of second meaning for it.

Since we know that it's "more serious," though, I guess it makes sense if "most common" follows?

Sigh.

Gut says commonest, brain says most common. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of not actually knowing the rules of English and operating solely on "it feels right" AND NOW IT FEELS IFFY :(

you were sleepy huh. commonest is a word but not really appropriate formally in a dissertation~~ but you know this now.

Lol yeah commonest got owned in the poll! More common stays it is.

"seriouser" sounds like an Alice in Wonderland tagline. Just sayin'.
