Test area for building table to show search results illustrating prevalence of "littler" vs. "more little", re: littler, and Tearoom conversation about it. (See also Leo thread Komparativ - brittler oder more brittle?.)
| This | is |
| a | table |
Foo Bar
Mouse over column header cells to see text portion of query. Full query to Google consists of a restriction to ccTLD shown in column one, plus the query shown in the header row. Thus, the Google query for row ca and column iL-rt would be: site:ca "is littler than". A few cells in the table are hyperlinked (including that one, and the entire first data row), and for those cells the value can simply be clicked to execute the query.
