Depressing

When you get less cards every year because everybody's dead.

 

Fewer.

 

Everybody's fewer? How does that work then?

No.. Fewer people = fewer cards

 

In fact I think of you as I do lots of things.

 

Even more depressing when you're writing out invitations and you remember
those who died, coz they were your real friends (or you wouldn't invite them
eh?)

No.. Fewer people = fewer cards

*ding*. If you can count the "things" (people, cards, pages in a book etc)
it's fewer. If you can't count them (oil, water etc, it's less)

No, because ...

Ah. OK.

D.

 

It's pretty depressing that explanations such as the above, are still
necessary...

D.

 

And fewer cheek, whilst you're about it, ****.

D.

 

On the upside, fewer cards to have to send.

 

No it's not, it's just like life the workld over. Somethings are remembered
and some things are forgotten or never taught at all. In this case, I simply
remembered something I was taught and taught for no good reason.

Knowing (actually remembering) the above has never done me one ounce of
good, nor has it hurt me and I'm sure the same can be said for most others.

It depends on what you mean by 'good'. When I hear or read someone
whose command of elementary English is so woeful as to not know the
difference between 'its' and 'it's', or 'fewer' and 'less', my opinion
of that person is lowered.

You no doubt couldn't give a flying **** what I think about you, but I
don't believe that I'm alone in considering precise, accurate expression
in one's native language to be a desirable goal.

D.

 

You're not.

You laugh at me because I am different
I laugh at you because you are all the same

 

You are in _big_ trouble, matey.
