There is, gets worse.

That's two words,

You must be one of the rocket scientist trolls.


Then your answer was incorrect.


Nope

I was looking for one word.


You actually are that stupid when two words works much better.


It takes longer to say.

therefore clumsy.


Wrong, as always.


Why use two words instead of one?


Because two words works much better
in this case and doesnt require taking
hours or days to find a singe word.


Would you say it was ok if we replaced every word with two?

Spoiled is better,


Nope, gets worse is better.


Because spoiled doesnt work as well for many situations.


I'll go with disimproved, or ****ed up.

suggested by a Quorian.

If I do work on my house I improve it.

Not when you do it, you make it much worse.

You have never seen my house.

Wrong. as always.


Show me photos then. Before and after where I've done something to it.
