I really am growing tired of that phrase. Something can't be more deadly. If something kills, it is deadly. Some things kill more people but they are not more deadly because dead can't be measured. You are either dead or not.
All right well I am chowing down on spinach pie and beef liver sausage and I saw this little gem from ... what's this? From a purported English teacher?
Welllllllllll professor as you know, "deadly" is an adjective. Have you ever heard of a comparative adjective??
Hmmm ok so the comparative adjective associated with "deadly" is ... wait for it ... "deadlier" ... and don't even get me started on the superlative adjective.
Check your dictionary. Is your dictionary in the habit of including words which represent nonexistent concepts?

Well, i bet that spinach pie and beef liver sausage is more healthy than a dinner more lacking in iron.
Good on you!
