      I fucking swear I see this mistake every single day these days. Does no one know the difference between less and fewer anymore?!?

        There’s a growing amount of people (sic) who are unaware of the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. Just watch any YouTube video that happens to involve quantities of any kind. “Amount” has become the standard term. And it’s similar with “less”.
