Graham's Language Training

Why can't English speakers use fewer (the fewest) and less (the least) correctly? Even interviewees on the news get it wrong! It's not difficult. A simple "rule" is:

use fewer with plural nouns and less with uncountable ("singular") nouns.

I know there are exceptions, but that's English!

Can you work it out?

This one took me a minute. Thanks to Barbara Bizek Sigismondi for this gem!

As well as being St. George's day, William Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564 and died on this day in 1616. Did you know that he coined approximately 1700 new words (the first person to write them down) and phrases, probably the greatest contribution to the English language of any poet and playwright?

A great example of English language humour. The difference between outdoors and out doors, think carefully?!

Not only was he a great playwright, but Shakespeare really knew how to insult people!

Hot off the press!
