wheres it at?

Use "fewer" when referring to a number. *There are fewer than 10 people on Coasterbuzz who care about proper grammar.*

Use "less" when referring to a quantity. *Reading Coasterbuzz requires less energy than performing my real job."

But, use "less" when a number and a unit of measure are combined. *This roller coaster is less than 15 feet taller than that roller coaster.*

And, as usual, Wal-Mart is wrong.

I'm also curious if M-Force really has less brakes than Mean Streak. Has anybody actually counted them?


Well, after someone said that millrace was 100% correct, I decided to study, there is always the possibility that I may be wrong, and I was. From your explanation they can be both correct at the same time, so by your explanation I was correct, however by the correct explanation i was wrong. So I consulted with someone that directed me to the Dr. Grammer website, amazing info. Less is used to refer to amounts that cannot be counted. So clearly grammar is not my forte. Notice, no apostrophe over the "e" because forte' is a french term meaning loud. The old rule i before e except after c? See no one can explain my deity. Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ. Now that I have been up too long I may return to lie in my recliner. mwahahahahaha


Mind you, even a tiny difference, such as that between 0 and 0.000126, can make a world of difference.
Im thankful this isn't a grammar site.

Sheesh, How bout some TOS where it's absolutely necessary?

I wish all you people would stop diverting this discussion about proper grammar with these comments about roller coasters. After all, this is grammarbuzz. Oh wait.... never mind. ;)
I thought it was AdBuzz?
So what was this thread originally about again? ;)

Haha no I'm not giving Patrick the finger

"I before E" rules are weird and unscientific.
