Note
A one-syllable adjective takes the suffix -er, and the silent e of rude simply absorbs it: rude, ruder, rudest. The phrasing more rude is also acceptable. The comparative carries every sense of rude, not only bad manners: a ruder joke is more offensive, a ruder hut is more roughly made, and a sea can turn ruder as it grows more turbulent.
