Oh wow you're right. "Less" is grammatically incorrect but it has a nice ring to it.

- joebadmo 16y agoThe alliteration is nice, but to me it really sticks out as an error. It's a pretty common one, though, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it. I don't know if it's even a commonly recognized enough error to warrant changing, but you should take into consideration that at least some people will notice. It's that little bit of polish sometimes...

- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI'd have stuck with less. "10 lines or less" is vernacular for sure, but sounds far better to my ear. Fewer comes over a bit highfalutin.
