Description
> ... my VM is a **strictly worst graphics** experience ...
I just checked and we don't flag "a worst experience" either.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported phrases, especially "a strictly worst graphics experience" and "a worst experience," then trace the grammar-checking entry point that handles comparative and superlative adjectives. Done means the incorrect "worst" usage is flagged and the suggested correction is "worse," with regression coverage for the reported cases.
