It's probably worth stressing for the benefit of the casual browser that the site you have linked to is concerned primarily with American English. Our American friends have their own quirks and foibles when it comes to spelling, grammar and sentence construction. Caveat lector. 🦛	[reply]

All sources I checked indicate that less and fewer were used more interchangeably for 1000 years, American English didn't exist back than. (probably with only Anglo-Saxon slaves in Viking settlements as an exception ;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
