Much better.Thank you. I will overlook the fact you spelt "pederasty" incorrectly.

I think you mean less peopleFewer will slowly dissapear. And people will became singular, as it should be, because it refers to a group, and group is singular.

Not quite.It's an awkward little distinction, but I do get quite pedantic about it...
Basically, when you have a quantity which is continuous, you would talk about there being "less" of it; e.g., "there is less gin in this bottle than there was before breakfast."
But if the quantity is discretised, i.e., you could pick out individual units, e.g., individual people, bottles, breasts, etc., you use "fewer," e.g., "there are fewer bottles of gin in the cupboard than there were before breakfast."

I know, I knowI know when to use each of them. I think because fewer and fewer people use "fewer" soon it'll dissapear and we'll all say "less". And we'll use people as a singular too: Less people likes you. You see? It sounds perfect.

Depends on how tall you are I suppose14 pounds in a stone, so 200 pounds is approx just over 14 stone. Anyone of medium build over 6 foot could easily be that and not look fat.

you're awfully tetchydoes it make you feel that angry that I don't like Ian Dury's "music"?
fwiw, my experience of french cars is that they are less reliable, less comfortable and less user-friendly than others. I'm not alone in this opinion.
My knowledge of football pretty much extends to knowing that Heskey is shit. Other than the world cup, I couldn't give a flying fuck about it.

the point in question was do I know what film that line was fromI did. I fail to see how anyone could know more about that particular question.
As for the other subjects, I know enough to satisfy myself that my opinion is valid and more than likely enough to satisfy someone who isn't already tetchy with me because I don't like a certain band's music.

You can keep flogging the Ian Dury dead horse as long as you like, it doesn't make it relevant.The point in question was your assertion that you're smug because you know about things. My point is that you're also smug about things that you don't know. I personally find informed smugness unpleasnt and uninformed smugness deeply irritating. Your statemnt "I know enough to satisfy myself that my opinion is valid" is incredibly complacent and self satisfied. Generally as you start to learn about any big subject, the first thing that you come to realise is how very little you know.
That's not to say that you're not an intelligent man. I just find your manner very irritating.

You need to get over yourself a bit.I am mildly smug in person it is true, but it is somewhat overblown on here because it amuses me.
When I said "I know enough to satisfy myself that my opinion is valid" I was talking about just those subjects you mentioned. I am aware of how little I know on many subjects, and even those I know a lot about there is still an awful lot more to learn.
The bottom line is you've read some things that have been said with tongue planted firmly in cheek and seem to have taken umbrage at them, despite them being harmless particularly in comparison to a lot of stuff bandied around on here, and because of that I'm glad you find my manner irritating.
and to flog that dead horse one more time, you didn't seem to have a problem with me until I said I didn't like Ian Dury.
