Hello, everyone.

The following is from an article, titled �The decline of manners in the U.S.,� from CNN. Com.

�More and more, manners are taught less and less.�

(http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:z9_tkOpCKeQJ:www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/14/poll.rude.ap/+%22More+and+more,+manners+are+taught+less+and+less%22&hl=ja)

It seems to me �Manners are taught less and less� does not go along with �more and more.� Is this natural English and does it make sense?

Best regards,
fw

"More and more" = "with increasinhg frequency."
