Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

My ration of rationalityI hate it when people set a QOTW with the title of 'Irrational Hatred', when they obviously mean 'Rational Hatred'.
Or the example would read, "People who say "fewer" when they have the opportunity to sound stupid and say "less", when they actually mean fewer... now that would constitute something you could hate irrationally. Or not, as you choose.
It's obviously rational to hate (and despise) people who use "less" when they mean "fewer".
By the way (as opposed to BTW, which I hate), I hate Apple.
But that's just me being rational, so I guess it doesn't count.

Dera Sir please excuse my extreme ignorance but what is the difference between "less" and "fewer"?

Well... it's like the difference between Rob and Nob.

So less means "to steal from a person by violence or threat" and fewer means "a jack of the same suit as the starter in cribbage"
