Children of a fewer god - my new rebellion
 

One of my nails on the blackboard things is when people use the word ‘less’ with countable nouns instead of ‘fewer’.

As in, “there’s less people...”. Since people around here think it’s also ok to say shit like, ‘on accident’, or ‘over top of’ I’ve decided that from now on I’m going to start using fewer for non countable nouns as a way of leveling the playing field.

As in, “that small glass holds fewer liquid than the big one”

Fuck em.

The purpose of language, written or spoken, is to make the recipient understand your message.

Go with the flow and you'll have one thing fewer to worry about.

Frustrating is when people ...

Irritating is when people ...

Disheartening is when people ...

Aggravating is when people ...

Harrassing is when people ...

Onerous is when people ...

Unpleasant is when people ....

Disconcerting is when people ...

Painful is when people ....

Yeah I have a thesaurus but it’s terrible. Not only that it’s also terrible.

Thesaurus, isn't that the kind of Dinosaur Jesus rode?

I want to know if this is going to effect me in anyway? Especially as I don't know where my theosaurus is at, so I will have less words to impact you with.

Damn thesaurus. It could not even come up with another word for 'terrible'.

Let's burn the books. Then only delightful will exist. Antonyms are more pleasant.

Save the world. We need more English Nazis.

Those are the spirit! Less words will have fewer impact. This is what it’s all about.
