Side note, but grammar nittery over less/fewer probably rustles my jimmies more than actual poor grammar. Real OG grammar nits know that the less/fewer rule is completely made up, some grammarian just decided it should be a thing in the 18th century. Also, nobody actually follows the rule in all circumstances because it results in some truly horrendous sounding sentences. Anyone think any of these sound right?
"Netflix costs fewer than 10 dollars a month!"
"Usain Bolt can run 100 metres in fewer than 10 seconds"
"Well, that's one fewer thing to worry about!"
