Fewer/Less bothers me. Fewer for countable entities, less for uncountable. There is less water in that bucket than the other. There are fewer rocks in that bucket than the other.

I did a lot of posting on here as a teenager, and I was pretty awful. Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry.

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

The one that bothers me the most is likely one of the more archaic rules of the English language. It's 'I am well', not 'I am good', dammit!

Oh, we can understand what he is saying, just not why he is saying it.

His bad grammar is probably due to his rampant alcoholism.
