Tip for Men #14: Less or Fewer?

This applies for both men and women, but I see more violations amongst men.

There is a syntactic difference between 'less' and 'fewer', and your profiles don't suggest that you're aware of this fact. Here's how it works:

'Less' applies only to non-count nouns, which are nouns that cannot be counted and thus must be considered as a collective whole entity. E.g.: "Last night I drank less vodka than I did on Tuesday."

'Fewer' applies to count-nouns, which are nouns that are counted individually. E.g.: "Last night I drank fewer vodka-tonics than I did on Tuesday."

Get it? Then get to work...
