I'm not sure that I understand what you're asking. If you wanted to use the number "ten" when contrasting the two prices, you could say:

What sentence of mine are you referring to? If it's one where I say "I have 10x less than you", I think that's correct usage. On the other hand, "10x less dollars" would be incorrect, since dollars are countable. That's an interesting case that I hadn't thought about though, and I will need to consult another…

Which specific usage of 'less' are you referring to? I just skimmed over my comments here and didn't see any objectionable usage of 'less', though if I missed one, I am truly ashamed of myself.

I found that website as well, while doing research to respond to someone else's post. That website defends my perspective, not yours.

Posting this as a new reply, since I've waited too long to edit my first one.

That's an idiomatic usage of the word. Hence, we all knew what Jason meant, but it's technically inaccurate.

I'm 24 years old, with a degree in engineering, and raised by a family of grammar nazis. That means I'm good at knowing how both numbers and words work.

I disagree. If I have $100, and you have $10 less, do you have $10 or $90? Less means subtract, not divide.

Sorry for being pedantic, but you hit one of my pet peeves in this article.

My 18 month old manual subaru idles at 2k rpm until it warms up, then it gradually drops to 7-800.

I've had a bad experience with that 2.8L V6, and that was without the aid of a supercharger to help blow it up.

And maybe he had that.

Magnets, Bitches!

My test (7 years ago, in PA) consisted of:

Most of the cycling paths are on old railroad beds, making them almost straight as an arrow and pretty flat. They'd be pretty lame for a rally.

You're saying it doesn't happen regularly? Shouldn't you see a doctor about that?

I've heard of similar things happening periodically. I hope none of the cyclists and pedestrians were bloodied in the incident.

Initial reaction: More places should do this, immediately. I hate it when those punks drive by with their subwoofers, making my windows rattle. Now get off my lawn.

By "m-word", do you mean "muggle" or "mudblood"? Hermione's parents were muggles, I think one was a dentist or something. Hermione was a mudblood.

My family has a 2003 Honda, a 2006 VW, and a 2012 Subaru that have this issue. I've never actually even been inside a Volvo, but I'd bet that they do this as well.
