If you live on Lake Erie, you shouldn't be surprised life is Erie. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. I know Erie.
Erie (pronounced "ear-ee") is a proper noun.
It means one of the Great Lakes that is framed by states New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and provinces in southern Canada.
It means a city in Pennsylvania on the coast of Lake Erie.
Eerie (pronounced "ear-ee") is an adjective. It describes something scary, disturbing, or instilling fear. It can be something weird. So they mis-spelled the name of the lake, it needs another e at the end.
Suave, suaver and suavest, that's the natural progression. It's not a spell-check issue, the grammar checker is simply substituting the proper word choice (hint: most of us old-timers learned long ago to turn OFF Word's Grammar Checker because of the overabundance of false positives, though it's actually gotten better the last several years)
As for the alternate suggestions, "suaver" is not a very common usage, so your grammar checker (Word's) is likely assuming that you (at its own instigation) simply switched words, meaning something else. But "suaver" IS the correct usage in that context. Word is--thank heavens--not terribly self-aware yet! ;)
It's not a spell-check issue,
It is because Word gives a spelling error for "suaver."
Word's grammar checker doesn't like "more." It's constantly telling me to substitute "more something" with a variant of "something" that means more.
It does that with "more suave" and the variant is "suaver." So far so good. But then it flags "suaver" as a spelling error.
Sorry, but "suaver" is one of those words that only sounds right when used as follows:
"Hot dang, thet BillBob Thornton sure are suaver than me."
It's constantly telling me to substitute "more something" with a variant
What's it do to "more or less"?
More angry = angrier
More happy = happier
More suave = more sophisticated or more debonair (debonairer?)
