more friendly vs friendlier #4 (permalink) Sun Sep 30, 2007 12:37 pm more friendly vs friendlier
Hi Conchita
Yes, that's right. People often use one-syllable adjectives (slow and quick, for example) as adverbs in informal English.
However, I mentioned two syllable adverbs ending with -ly as a result of Jon's specific question about the adjective 'friendly'. Though saying 'friendlier' is correct and natural, you cannot change the ending of a two-syllable -ly adverb to -lier -- not even in more informal English.
