English major's gut says: "95% less" should be "95% fewer" in the case of "buttons" and "things to learn".
- nbrogi 13y agoEh eh, I know :-) I'm Italian, my wife's American, I told her that I wanted to use 'less' so that I could do things like "95% less this, 95% less that", while "fewer" would limit my choice in that regard. She said it's fine. Does it sound really bad/that I don't know it should be "fewer" I guess..?
