How to use it
Good has a suppletive comparative, meaning its comparison forms come from a different root entirely: good, better, best. Gooder is what a regular adjective would produce, which is exactly why children reach for it while learning the pattern, and why it reads as childlike from an adult. Use better. The one place gooder survives legitimately is as a noun in do-gooder, where it is not a comparative at all. Betterer follows the same childhood logic and gets the same answer: better is already the comparative, so there is nothing left to add to it.
