Again while doing some proofreading I ran across these 2 words which seem to give people quiet a hard time in knowing their proper usage. So even though they are not homonyms nor homophones I thought they should be explained so writers would have a better understanding of the way in which to use them properly.
fewer: /adjective/ not as many as (applies only to numbers)
Usage: In the supermarket, only people with 20 or fewer items should use the Express Lanes.
less: /adjective/ ,not as much as (applies to extent, degree, bulk),
Usage: There is less chance of a mistake if you read the instructions.
