However, there is potentially a difference in meaning. This can been in that, while "good and better" and "bad and better" and "bad and good" would all make sense as comparatives, "bad and gooder" would not. "Bad and better" could be "bad and not as bad" or "bad and ok" rather than "bad and good". But "gooder" requires that the thing being compared to is good. Quote
