hearts should be shunned from the community. Discuss.

P.S. This has nothing to do with the fact that i have just this night received my second heart.

Thank you.

1. I think that anyone who has uses the word 'less' instead of 'fewer' should be shunned from the
community.

Discuss.

P.S. - This has nothing to do with the fact that you just did that.

Thank you.

about the useage of more or fewer. :P

The only time that really bugs me is at the express checkout lines at the store... almost every single store I've been to has the wrong word on the sign. 10 items or less. 20 items or less. 8 items or less.

And then we wonder why people have crappy grammar these days. Hell, newscasters and ads on TV and radio don't even bother to use proper grammar anymore. You can't learn the language if no one around you uses it properly.

4. Never mind about all that.
You can't possibly be as drunk as I am (PUI) at this point so comparing terms such as less and fewer could have no possible relevance at this juncture.

You understand.

Get a hair cut.
