Only MIckF would find this difficult to understand. To almost the entire Anglosphere, a sentence like:
"It's warmer than yesterday." is impossible to misunderstand. Likewise
"...,milder ..." or
"... drier ..."
Yet somehow MickF can write a pile of drivel about it ...
Not drivel at all!
It can be drier or warmer or milder than yesterday. No argument from me there!
Take the sentence:
It is freezing cold this morning, but it will be warmer by lunctime.
Comparative Adjectives and Superlatives.
Cold, colder, coldest
Warm, warmer, warmest.
Go the other way?
Cold, less cold, not cold. Maybe then mild, and milder, then perhaps warm, then warmer.
You cannot go from cold to warmer.
You can go from cold to warm.
