Sooperstar Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 People buzzing my flat buzzer to get in the building when they aren't even coming to my flat. Twice in the past 5 minutes. I now just ignore the buzzer which is a shame if someone actually is looking for me. ****ING 3 TIMES NOW. **** OFF. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a ****ing service button that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a ****ing week and releases the door instantly. ****ing idiots.

MrRobbo10 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The worst people on the Internet - people who correct 'less' to 'fewer'. In 99% of cases they're entirely interchangeable.

MrRobbo10 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) They're not interchangeable. Fewer is used for countable nouns e.g "fewer apples" and less is used for non-countable nouns e.g "less milk".Why? "Because that's the rule likesay" There's no etymological reason for that distinction. It was introduced in to the language by one disgruntled chap in the seventeenth century. Alfred the great used less to mean fewer. Folk just parroting what they had drummed into them in English class. Fewer is s longer and uglier word. Every letter feels like you're chiselling it from a cliff of granite. Edit: all I see in your example is that less can always replace fewer, but fewer can't always replace less.

You said they were interchangeable and we've both agreed since they are not. They indicate a different type of noun. Just because using less instead of fewer sounds alright doesn't mean it's correct.

Forsooth sirrah! No, that's what you're doing. You're following a made up rule that serves no purpose made up by someone 4 centuries ago.
