I urge you to reconsider if this comment adds anything to the discussion. "Less" vs "fewer" doesn't cause any ambiguity or confusion, (versus, say, 'literally' being misused) so I see no point in bothering to correct it.
- duncan_bayne 8y agoFair point; how then would you rate your own comment? ;)
- theoh 8y agoI found that sentence difficult to understand, though. One problem was the use of "difference with" instead of "difference from", which can have the opposite of the intended meaning. I had to read it several times...
- cjhopman 8y ago> versus, say, 'literally' being misused If you don't also complain about the use of "really", you are just signalling.
- MereInterest 8y agoCould you explain the different meaning of "really", as that is not a shift that I am aware of?
