I did understand your message, and it was not correct. You wroteThat is not true. 'Less' can go with adjectives of any length, but it cannot go with comparatives.

No, you didn't. We use "less" to form comparative adjectives as it is tha case for "less interesting". Don't tell me that even this former example doesn't exist.

Thanks

As 5jj said, you said

'Less' goes for longer adjectives, three and more syllables.

This is false.

I don't quite see how this page is relevant. Could you quote the relevant part and explain why it is relevant?

Not convinced! You keep repeating the same thing: false. I don't need it. Give evidence or where you got your conviction.
Thanks.

Evidence?
How about millions and millions of words written by native speakers who use "less" with words of one and two syllables?

You seem less and less happy as this thread continues. Oh -- look -- two syllables.
This one is a little less pricey than that one, but both are beyond my budget.
He is less skillful than his brother, but his customer service is so much better.

Really, it could go on and on and on.

Perhaps you are a little less sure that we are wrong now, nouamaneer.

Incidentally, in the article to which you provided a link, there is no reference at all to 'less' in connection with words of any number of syllables.

I find this post rude. Please use "please" with your imperatives.

I provide this link for others, BC. Your command of English is such that I know you don't need it.
