«inexpensive» is more common, so you see it a lot more often.

However, technically these two words mean different things:

«inexpensive» = means that it is cheap, it does not cost much, the cost is low, it is low in price.

«unexpensive» = means that it is not expensive…but it might not be cheap either. It might be in the middle of the prices. It is not extremely expensive, it is not an unreasonable or high price. But it only says it is not expensive, it does not say if it is easily affordable or cheap. So it often means that it is a reasonable, average, middle range cost.

So to show these in order (highest cost to lowest cost):

— too expensive = the price is way too much, it is unreasonable

— expensive = this will cost a lot, the price is very high, it has to be very important to you or else it is not worth this much, something less expensive might be better, you should decide carefully. But if it is also very high quality or very important, then the high price might be worth paying.

— unexpensive, average, reasonable, middle = the price is not too much, it is a reasonable price, it is in the middle of the prices, it is about average in price. It might still be a lot of money but it is a reasonable amount for this item. It is probably a fair price.

— inexpensive, cheap, low cost, budget = the price is very low, it is easy to pay this price, it does not cost very much to buy this. But it also might be lower quality, because it is so cheap.

Hi, everyone!
Could you, please, help me? What is the most usual way of speaking/writing when using some smaller degree comparatives? I am not referring to all smaller degree comparatives. For example:
This TV set is expensive, but it is less expensive than those or This TV set is expensive, but it is cheaper than those?
This TV set is cheap, but it is less cheap than those or This TV set is cheap, but more expensive than those?
Less late or earlier? (less late sounds horribly to me)
Less fast or slower/more slowly?

It is possible that my question has to do with those adjectives and adverbs that have antonyms, I am not sure.
By the way, I do not know why most English grammar books and dictionaries practically do not refer to smaller degree comparatives. Any possible explanation?
And thanks in advance!

Is more slowly correct? Or for this adverb we have the form slower too?
