Grammar Rant

[dripping_cherry]

After having read this twice in the past five minutes, I just have to get it out of my system. It's FEWER PEOPLE, not LESS PEOPLE. When you're talking about a quantity that consists of individual units that can be counted, use FEWER. Less water, is correct; less people isn't.

OMG--I know what that's like. I hate it when I'm driving somebody somewhere and they tell me to go straight. It's forward. Gah!

I just wanted a chance to use my Ravenclaw icon. And I agree with you; that drives me crazy!

Grammar is my mistress. I also find it very adorable that in the post about grammar, "system" is misspelled. Cutecutecute.
