Less common
Hi,
I have seen 'less' used before 'short gradable adjectives' in different places although a lot of references say one can't eg 'less commom, less hairy, less cold...'.I need to know whether this is informal practice.

Of course you can use 'less common/hairy/cold/etc'. It is standard English.
