[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Question for any amateur philologists out there....

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I found this site and am very excited: http://bookbox.com/index.php

Except I have one hesitation in that their tagline is "Helping children 
read smarter".

I don't believe "smarter" may be used as an adverb.  I'm looking at 
suppletion on wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppletion
but I'm not finding anything illuminating.  Is this not grammatical 
topic for "Good, Better, Best" ?  I had thought growing up that we were 
taught that they were called "Super latatives" or something similar, but 
I'm finding nothing on searches for that.

I've also always wondered about Apple's tagline "Think Different".  It 
irks me as it seems in my mind that it's incorrect and should be "Think 
Differently".  Any ideas on this?

At the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna 
Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, we teach you that there's more to life 
than being really, really good looking.
