MeanRedSpider Je suis un Coupé M Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 8,852 Cambridge & Cotswolds	I was interested to hear the guy on R4 today who somewhat debunked the myth that "fewer than" was correct in some circumstances (can't be bothered to list them) rather than "less than". He said somebody made up the rule and that "less than" has been used for at least 1000 years. I'm glad he said that because I like language to be correct where it helps precision of meaning but this rule added nothing. http://www.alfa.me.uk

One of my friends used this in a text to me a while back and I was so outraged that I no longer speak to him. Up yours Photobucket.

A friend said that to me recently and it took me entirely too long to work out that it wasn't a comment about my weight.
