like it better vs like it more Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:47 am  like it better vs like it more
 

Hi,
My friends and I were going window shopping... and we saw something that engaged our attention; and then:
A said "I like the green one with yellow stripes more"
B said "I would say I like the red one better"

Is there any grammatical mistake in what A had said?
I know it's absolute correct to say "I like something better", but not sure if it is correct to say "I like something more":
http://www.google.com/search?hl=zh-TW&q=%22like+it+more%22&btnG=Google+%E6%90%9C%E5%B0%8B&meta=&aq=f

Please help if you could!

Hi Kwfine,

Both forms are acceptable. I think it would be simpler to say: I prefer the green one ....
