This is evidently one of those things that I grew up hearing and using,
that is acceptable in spoken colloquial English: funnest = most fun.
However, to my surprise, Neil's right and Word returned it in a
spell-check. Just for grins, who else didn't bat an eye at that (i.e.,
who else would say "funnest" without thinking anything of it), and who
thought I misspelled "funniest"? I love regionalisms.
