is "winningest" a word?

<p>I’ve heard people say it, but when i type it on the app page and MS word, its mispelled…Should i still keep it in my essay?</p>

<p>Yes, I think so. I see it used in the sports section of newspapers a lot. It’s the only way to describe something that wins a lot, really.</p>

<p>its in the dictionary, but it sounds ridiculous. I’d say don’t put it in your essay…</p>

<p>It sounds terrible.</p>

<p>That’s kind of true. The only people I can imagine saying “winningest” are really old English teachers.</p>

<p>they use it for sports and sports only…</p>

<p>yea but i’m quoting someone talking about michael phelps…i think i’ll keep it since its a quote</p>
