Which sentence sounds better:
1. Maria doesn't like beets, but Daniel likes them even lesser.
2. Maria doesn't like beets, but Daniel likes them even less.
*I also have these options: little and littler instead of lesser and less
Lesser is grammatically incorrect in this situation. Therefore less is the only option.
A better way to phrase this would be
Maria dislikes beets, but Daniel dislikes them even more.
even less is the correct wording. Even lesser doesn't sound right. Try saying it out loud.
Lesser is grammatically incorrect in this situation. Therefore less is the only option.
A better way to phrase this would be
Maria dislikes beets, but Daniel dislikes them even more.
