Tea room discussion[edit]

Is the adjective fictive comparable the way the entry says? RJFJR 15:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

145 raw hits for "more fictive than" at b.g.c. DCDuring TALK 16:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
The raw hit count is misleading for that one; about half the hits are in google books:"more fictive than real|historical|actual|factual", and aren't using "more fictive" as a comparative of "fictive". Still, there are a bunch of hits that are using it that way, and plenty of comparative uses at google books:"more fictive" that don't use "than", so I agree that it's comparable. —RuakhTALK 17:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
