How to use it
Prouder is standard, following the ordinary rule that one-syllable adjectives take -er and -est. The reason people check is usually the sound rather than the grammar: prouder and proudest have an awkward cluster that makes them feel less settled than they are. More proud is acceptable and sometimes chosen for rhythm, particularly in the phrase could not be more proud, where the idiom carries it. Proudest behaves identically, and the same idiomatic pull appears in my proudest moment, where almost nobody reaches for most proud.
