- mitthrowaway2 3y agoBabies are countable, so the preferred grammar is "fewer babies".
- OnlyMortal 3y ago“Less” versus “Fewer”.
- hermannj314 3y agoA discrete countable amount (i.e. fewer babies) is preferred over saying 'less babies' based on rules written by now dead English professors. Honestly, I could not care fewer.
- midoridensha 3y ago"Less babies" is grammatically incorrect. The proper wording is "fewer babies".
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoPeople who eat chocolate ice cream, or order Hawaiian pizza, are incorrect. The proper ice cream is pistachio, and the proper pizza is pepperoni New York Style.
- midoridensha 3y agoI agree; grammar rules should be abandoned. From now on, I'm going to use the word "less" to mean a larger number of something. If you can't understand me, it's your fault.
