Pet Peeve

Where did "funner" come from? It's not a word.
I am starting to hear it a lot...just now someone on the Today Show described a fashion element as "funner", I could not believe it. Don't they have educated grammatically correct presenters? But I'm an alien, so I thought I'd check just to be sure.
Fun, funny, funnier...there's no funner -- not even in the American dictionary.
So don't use it!
If something is better or funnier it is more fun !
Okay, now I feel better.
