 	"Less has always been used in English with counting nouns. Indeed, the application of the distinction between less and fewer as a rule is a phenomenon originating in the 18th century.
Alfred the Great (the first king of England) was a prolific writer and translator of the time, and used "less" with counting nouns, e.g. around 888 AD:[1]
 Swa mid læs worda swa mid ma, swæðer we hit yereccan mayon. 
 With less words or with more, whether we may prove it."
That was from Merriam-Webster, which admittedly is American, but American English is often rather closer to Middle English than British English.
NB: Alfred the Great wasn't the first King of England, Aethelstan was.

	Except the vast majority of people
 	who still, and always have, used "less" where linguists tell them they should use "fewer". Language isn't degrading in this area, people have simply ignored an arbitrary ruling by linguists and carried on speaking the way they always have done.
Also, sentence structure is different. You could have used "less" up there, but the sentence would have been structured "but less people understand that" which, arguably, is a more efficient means of communicating the same sentiment.

	 The original English language?
	The original English language?
 	Sure. And that's the same as modern English, is it? Language evolves. It so happens to evolved, in this case, to include a rule which dictates the correct usage of one word vs another in the case of quantitative nouns.
I would like to add that the current edition of the Merriam Webster, which you have quoted as a source in your favour, actually says that 'fewer refers to number among things that are counted, and less refers to quantity or amount among things that are measured.' IE, it proves my original point, not yours. It does go on to say that in colloquial usage either are acceptable, but only one is technically correct.
I would rather be technically correct, and a pedant, than a mis-educated, barely literate cretin like the vast majority of users of the English language, thank you.

	 You seem to be getting a little cross.
	You seem to be getting a little cross.
 	What I have said is that people have always used "less" as a counting noun and that a rule saying that isn't acceptable only came about a couple of hundred years ago as a result of a few people deciding they didn't like it. I would also point out that "colloquial" usage means, in this context, everybody that speaks the language today and throughout the entire history of the language and that the people who insist on "fewer" are in the minority now and have been throughout the whole of the recorded history of this argument, which is I'll remind you, a fraction of the life of the English language.
Yes, the original language is largely the same as modern English with a few extra words here and lexical drifts there.
Finally, "technically" correct refers to a few people deciding there ought to be a rule. "Less" has *always* been used as a counting noun. That, to me, makes it perfectly acceptable.
It absolutely hasn't evolved to include this rule. That rule was instituted by linguists artificially and has been mostly ignored. That is not an evolution.
