random9@lemmy.worldtoMildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•People using 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'English
171·
9 months agoI’ve corrected people a few times on this, but then I looked it up, and from what I understand, since language is defined by usage, saying “less” when technically it should be “fewer” is still generally correct. It still sounds alright to me, though oddly the reverse (using “fewer” when it should be “less”) sounds fewer (aka less) correct to me.
