Fewer people lined the streets in DC

8. Fewer people, not less.

Think of it this way: you have fewer glasses of milk, but less milk overall.

Less money, fewer dollar bills. Fewer paint brushes, less artwork.

Fewer involves specific numbers. Less involves a smaller overall quantity. The problem is that people are very careless and don't distinguish between those two very important concepts. Also, "more" is the correct way to indicate larger, both in specific numbers and in overall quantity.

I am very much looking forward to being the Grammar Queen, so I can make sure everyone is always grammatically correct.
