neutral  Nick Lingris: Το "by far" συντάσσεται κανονικά με υπερθετικό (π.χ. by far the best). // By far THE better (of the two) είναι σωστό. // Μα θα σήμαινε ότι έχει προαναφερθεί η Κ. Compare it with the Caribbean and it will always come out the winner.

  -> Aυτό δεν θυμόμουν καλά κι έδωσα χαμηλό βαθμό σιγουριάς και το "by" σε παρένθεση. Αν και μου δίνει αναφορές με "by far the better" ο γκούγκλης αλλά θα 'ταν μάλλον αναποφάσιστοι σαν εμένα.:-)//E, για δύο δεν μιλάμε;Γιατί το κάνεις μέγα θέμα;//Ουφφφφφφφφ
