“In 2014, there were less than 600 stores in PA.”

The correct way to phrase that is “there were fewer than 600 stores in PA?. If what you’re talking about is physically countable, then you should say “fewer than” and not “less than”...

Sorry, pet peeve of mine...

Makes sense - though I don’t know why Weird Al is hatin’ on the Oxford Comma.....I did like the distinction of “doing good” vs. “doing well”.

Lighten up, Francis.

The question mark you put in is not correct. :-)
