 less sugar > < sugar less
 This is simple and silly, yet some people get confused. 'Sugarless' is NOT the same as 'less sugar'. Once, I asked in a canteen of NIMS asked to give me a coffee with "less sugar''. He gave me one without any sugar. When asked him why he had done so, he replied, "You only wanted sugarless coffee!'' Well, it was not expected of him to know the difference. Sugarless = without any sugar. Less sugar = small quantity.
