why can you say prettier but not beautifuler
why do we say "on" Christmas day instead of "at" Christmas day
@saj,
These are both rules that have no specific reasoning behind them, that's just the way it is.
@saj,
So pretteous saj yet beauteous.
On is when and at is where.
@saj,
Pretty:
something that is pretty is pleasant to look at or listen to but is not impressive
