It is, but technically it's not. English is more bizarrer that that..
It depends or the number of syllables in the word: one or two, add
'-er'; three or more (or if the two-syllable-er word "sounds lame"),
use "more"...

English, the perl of natural languages.. lol   (Apparently Dutch is
pretty weird too..)

Peace,
