EDIT: you guys have dug up some truly horrible pisstakes :D Thank you for those.

To the serious folk - relax a little. This is Mildly Infuriating, not I'm dying if this doesn't stop. As a non-native speaker I was taught a certain way to use the language. The rules were not written down by me, nor the teachers - it was done by the native folk. Peace!

It’s fine, OP - English is my native language and it irks me some, too, because It was a subject in school that I did really well in and tutored other students.

I’ve come to accept the fact that most folks will always say ‘less’ regardless of the context, I’m guilty of it at times, and at the end of the day it’s not a big deal. But I’m sorry you’re getting the reaction that you are.

My husband and I were actually discussing this a few days ago when I corrected him, again, but at this point it’s more of a running joke between us and he laughs (he is the only person who I ‘correct’ because it is a joke and he finds it funny; I’m not being an asshole when I do it and he knows that).

People using "fewer" instead of "less" would be far more infuriating. 'cause you know they know better and are trying to get a rise out of you :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I feel like that could happen in the same way that "you and I" became a common overcorrection.

They should be using 'sass'

I'll try to lessen the few times it happens.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

This made me think I'd really love there was a "fewen".

Using less what?

I refuse to acknowledge anyone's struggle with common words like that except lose and loose.

Unlike less and fewer which are basically interchangeable unless you're being pedantic lose and loose are two completely different words entirely

I wish humans created fewer pollution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Change pollution to pollutants and it works.

Honestly you have to be able to switch caring about that stuff off, when you want to, otherwise knowing any of these rules is more a curse than a blessing.
