...and if the word used was 'less' instead of 'fewer'... could we make it more or less ultravague.
Someone with more lingustic creativity than I (anyone ackchully) could CAT (combine appropriate threads) together a construction... I know there is one in here... somewhere...
As soon as such a construction makes you stop and think, it becomes self defeating as a tool of communication, doesn't it? Is this the same form of cognitive dissonance that we enjoy when comedians are successful? NTTAWWT
ps - I think you are correct!
