I'm not sure what the official stance on this is, but I always thought "fewer" was used in the case of discrete subjects, and "less" in the case of continuous.

I'm not sure what the official stance on this is, but I always thought "fewer" was used in the case of discrete subjects, and "less" in the case of continuous. So it's always amusing when someone talks about "less people".
- miles 14y agoThanks for pointing that out, mkingston! I went with "less people" because it sounded funnier (to me) than "fewer people" (which did sound more grammatically correct).
