Inconsistencies of language!
Which of these things is not like the other?
  1. You'd best start working on your physics labs, Clara
  2. You'd better have done well on that math midterm.
  3. You'd good do more work on your college supplements.

But why? Logically, it should work, because the other two degrees of that adjective work in that context.
Mystery!

I'm currently high on leftover pecan pie. Let it be.

Love always,
Clara
