What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist

What's Wrong With “more better”?
Nothing! As long as you don’t understand grammar. If you did, you’d quickly realize that better is a comparative adverb (good, better, best) and more is an adjective. Which makes “more better” a reverse of modifier guidelines.
Listen closely, I’ll say this only once…more:
Adjectives modify Nouns and Pronouns — period.
Adverbs, on the other hand, modify Verbs, other Adverbs, AND Adjectives.
Stick with me, sweetheart, and you’ll get this stuff down soon!
