Interesting: #English #inflectionalMorphology on a #MandarinChinese verb (or better Verb-Object construction), even if in meme context: 搬砖 ban1zhuan1 carry + brick 'do hard physical labor' + ing
Probably the fact that Mandarin Chinese also has progressive markers that follow the verb make this easier (?)

There is nothing like a fitting corpus example to light up one's day, so here we go: "After hearing all of that, I'm tireder than I thought I was."
Simultaneously one of nine sentences containing "tireder" in the Corpus of Contemporary American English aka COCA and a good description of my state of mind :)
(And yes, of course "more tired" is overall just a bit more frequent, with 301 occurrences)
