We can do this all day Methuselah...Thanks Granpa..Thanks Dad...*wince* FEWER. I try not to nitpick people's grammar too much (because I would never do anything else), but this is one of my pet peeves.
If you can count it, it's FEWER. LESS is for things that cannot be counted individually. Thus, you have LESS water, but FEWER drops of water.
GAH!!
No, if I were your dad, you would be far more literate. And a conservative.
Same answer.
However long you want to spend trying to justify your incomplete mastery of your own mother tongue, dear.
Do you also believe that 2+2=5 is "close enough"?
