A Sense of Doubt blog post #2282 - Fewer vs. Less - The Art of Being Correct



A Sense of Doubt blog post #2282 - Fewer vs. Less - The Art of Being Correct

One of my favorite lessons for students, often my first in the quick round up often confused words.

The images pretty much carry the story.

I have some links to share, too.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1791 - Grammar Stuff, part two



Fewer and less.... very simple.

If you count items, use fewer.

For everything else, use less.

Fewer coins and dollars in my purse; less money.

Fewer glasses of water today; less water.

See?

- Days ago = 2146 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
