Grammar Throw Down

The Participants: G’Pa Larry, The Hardy Brothers, and Nieces Lia (in Denver) and Ursula (in London with her English fiancé Tom.)

Ursula:

There were less people on the return flight from Seattle so that was nice.

 

Curmudgeonly (yet lovable) Uncle:

“Fewer” people. You’re in the Mother Country. Speak the Queen’s English. Ya makin’ us look bad!

 

Tom:

People who point this out generally have fewer friends.
