        He corrects everyone one the less/fewer thing. It’s kind of his thing.

          the less/fewer distinction was made up by a king one day… because he felt like it…

          but, english is a living language and words mean what people intend them to mean, not what some dead guy mote thus be foretold, henceforth…
