We have two major supermarkets here: one has a "less than" line and the other has a "fewer than" line. Unfortunately, the latter store is more expensive, so I usually just appreciate their grammar from afar.


Edit: Until I read musick's post, tsuwm, I understood "express lane" to mean the fast lane on the highway, and I was unable to parse.

At least the grammer wasn't something that the meaning was obfuscated with.

How y'all can keep straight whether you're counting or measuring when it's more is beyond me.
