People using 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'

Jump

  • Less is more unless fewer less is no more no less.

  • Yeah it is grammatically correct but most people would say "less than 5 minutes ago" or "less than 50 seconds", instead of using "fewer than".

    • I've noticed that people make the 'surface of the sun' temperature comparison a lot

  • Are those ceiling lamps? They are hideous.

  • By the way, in 2012, scientists on the LHC were able to create the highest man-made temperature, at an astounding 5 trillion K – the temperature of the universe moments after the big bang.

    • What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance?

  • A card with a well-written note would be the best. Take time thinking about the tiny things she did that meant a lot to you.

  • Top Gun is memorable in a frustrating way.

    I enjoyed Blades of Steel too. But I like Ice Hockey better overall, mainly because they added weight/power to different player types. That might be the first sports game having such system.

  • Wonderful time with coop (and when I had friends to coop with).

    • Indeed it is.

  • You get a UNiCoRn, but I guess it can be a cancerous unicorn.

  • Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.

    I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.

    I never tried Paperboy, is it good?

    • Please don't make me google where your application saves things by default

  • Microsoft Teams is the worst! You click download, there is no prompt, and your "downloaded" file is nowhere to be found.

    • In case you were wondering

  • Can you point out where the problem is?

  • Yeah I asked Bing to mimic the game aesthetics. So some PS2 texture for you.

  • This one is just called Pinball, it is a first-party Nintendo game.

    I love NES pinball. I do not like pinball games with realistic physics (too fast and too difficult). This one feels more like a game instead of a real pinball machine. Also, this one has a bonus stage with Mario in it.

    I also like how clear and bright the visuals are. Too many newer pinball games are cluttered and flashy.

    Space Cadet and NES pinball are my favourite video pinball games of all time.

  • We have GMT/UTC for that purpose.

    But do you want to see your clock at 02:00 and say "time to go to work"?
