Re: The term \"well liked\"
[ QUOTE ]
How should I write this sentence?
"... that is more respected and more well liked..."
"... that is more respected and better liked..."
Saying "more well" is typically not correct, but breaking up the term "well liked" doesn't quite seem right to me either. What do you think?

I will put these into sentences to see how they flow:
1. The Dude is more respected and more well liked than any other poster I know of.
2. The Dude is more respected and better liked than any other poster I know of.
3. The Dude is more respected and well liked than any other poster I know of.
I choose option number three...but the first option isn't as awkward as I would have thought. I don't like the second option at all.

Also, I think technically it should be 'well-liked'....but meh.
