Reply to comment by RPoliticsModsFU in LPT - Don't know if it's less or fewer? 'Fewer' is a more precise word than "less". Say the sentence in your head, and try "fewer" first. Generally speaking, if that word fits, it is correct. by RPoliticsModsFU
You can't have fewer of something that can't be counted. You can't have one sand or ten water. So for those you have to say less. If you can count it, then you should say fewer rather than less.
Teaching kids this stuff isn't a priority so many people never learn the rules.
