Oh sorry- I thought this was the "ten replies or less
" thread, but then I got caught up in the “less sex, more partners” magazine that I was reading while I was on line, and I must have followed the lady with the fewer buns without thinking. I don’t even like fewer buns typically. I just came in for the pie. Mmmmm pie. And of course, if you look further at the pie, the more pie, the further pie (and what is “rthe” between friends) you can develop a real craving for pie. Not to mention burger. Mmmm burger. Further burger. Mmmmm nummy nums.
Damn right, Stoid! This always bothers me. I know of only one grocery store that describes their Express Lane as “X items or fewer”. All the others I’ve been in incorrectly say, “X items or less”. With that wording, the customer should expect to pay less if they have an amount of items not equal to X.
Thank you Stoid! We’ve got a new thread in GD which says something about “Less Cars”. I was considering saying that back when I drove a Metro convertible, it would have been very difficult to have “less car”.
Now, should I bust december for saying Ashcroft “coauthored” a book? You write books, not author them!
Wouldn’t this be a case of “verbing weirds language”? manhattan… You almost lost me with that one. PhiloVance, if that was what you meant, I sincerely apologize.
Irregardless of you’re opinion on these topic, Stoid, these mistakes don’t effect you many, or words to that affect. Basically, I think it’s complicated. Me and you know language is hard for peoples who don’t know as much as I and you, so their is no reason to have a temper greatly more inflammible as a dry kindling.
