Re: the most

azzMember

a. In our group I am the one who eats the most greasy food.

Is that sentence ambiguous?

I think it could mean
1. In our group I am the one who eats the greatest amount of greasy food.
and
2. In our group I am the one who eats the greasiest food.

Is that correct?

Many thanks

Hi, Azz—You're absolutely right. Sentence (a) is ambiguous in precisely that way; it can mean either (1) or (2). Nice observation.
