        I'm guessing something like "she ran less quickly." Less modifies quickly, which is an adverb. So less would therefore also be an adverb, not an adjective, since adjectives modify nouns or other adjectives.

          Also adverbs can be used on adjectives like in 'she is very tall'. So I think less is maybe still an adjective here?

            maybe! I'm sort of guessing here based on what other people have said.

              Turns out very and tall both count as adverbs. They actually carry a lot more weight than I thought.

                  I had the weirdest work conversation where me and an equally weird fucker did a tier list of the letters of the alphabet

                    Were the tiers themselves given letter names? Because if A is B tier, than what does it mean for something to be A tier?

                      This came up and representation as a tier got you a boost. Like S still ranked well below A despite having a betteri tier named after it. X was the winner. Co-starring role in tic tac toe, marks the spot, video game endorsement deal with Microsoft, cool thing to sign with instead of you name, has axis named after it so it gets a lot of work done in math without mentioning it's frequent recurring role in algebra. X had a lot going on.
