Why is worser not a word?
Because "worse" is already the comparative form of "bad". Most comparatives in English are formed by adding the suffix "-er" to the adjective. But in the case of "good" and "bad", they are so commonly used that the ancient irregular comparatives "better" and "worse" continue to be used. Little children sometimes try to assimilate the irregular form to the regular one by adding "-er" to worse. But they are usually cured of this error by the time they are 4 or 5.

How do you form the comparative and the superlative degree of the irregular adjectives?
Depends what you mean by 'irregular'. The basic rule is to add '-er' for comparatives and '-est' for superlatives. BUT: (i) If the adjective ends in '-y' (e.g. 'happy', 'silly'), the 'y' changes to 'i' (both for comparatives and superlatives), thus 'happiest', 'silliest'. (ii) Generally, if the word has more than two syllables (e.g. 'wonderful' or 'eccentric', for example), because adding '-er' or'-est' sounds clumsy, the rule is to add 'more' (comparative) or 'most' (superlative) before the adjective in question. Thus 'more wonderful/most wonderful', 'more eccentric/most eccentric'. I think there are one or two other rules which escape me at the moment.
