Glazier Semiconductor was one of the oldest and more conservative - TopicsExpress



          

Glazier Semiconductor was one of the oldest and more conservative companies in town. That sentence sounds wrong, but I think its technically correct, because the verb construction was one of the... works with both oldest and more conservative. I think it only seems wrong because your brain expects either two comparatives or two superlatives in a sentence using parallel construction. Anyone care to make an argument that the sentence is technically wrong?
