I found "less worse" somewhat funny. Is that part of modern English? I learned "not as bad as" but English changed so much since then and "not as bad as" does not seem to convey the same shade of meaning as "less worse". I found this article: http://business.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/22/now-the-less-worse-economy-looks-good/ Is that special biz speak of Hong Kong? T'isnt Scots innit?
