0 Yes, I'd agree that 'narrower' is more usual. Though 'more narrow' isn't wrong. 02br

00I'm surprised 'narrower' does so well. I sometimes get the impression that native speakers are becoming uneasy about -er comparatives, and tending towards the 'more' forms – esp. in more formal ('formaller'...) writings. 02br

0 When the domain is restricted into domain ".com", the ratio is 786,000 to 90,900. So com users are much more lenient (or lenienter) on the choice than ac.uk people. 02br
