Freep Threads too hard to follow

[calenel]

Clearly you're spending less than 36-hours per day on FR.

That should be fewer than...

[Rightly Biased]

Your rambling already has 30 some odd posts

learn to read quick and ignore those posts that are meaningless like most of mine.

[petrotsky]

fewer, less than <= its all the same

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

See the pretty blue stuff at the bottom of each post?

Learn to use it to keep up and informed. You'll get used to it. there is a learning curve as with any piece of software.

[petrotsky]

And rambling it is.

[MagnumRancid]

Ok it's easy.
Pre-compose your, witticisms, deep thoughts and profundities. Get a multi monitor system. Open a window for each thread you want to follow. Look for opportunities to show the rest of us how smart you are. Cut and paste. :^)

By the time I finish thinking and typing, my response will have become irrelevant and the thread itself will be 10 items down the list. Nevertheless, I'd like point out that just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean I

[Rightly Biased]

I didn't mean that in a bad way but in a rambling kinda way

[FreeReign]

People like to post because they get their name up their and get to say what they think. Its irrelevant whether people read it.

So then if nobody read any of your posts, you would still post?

Your post reminded me of when I used to bartend (while in undergrad). One waitress always wrote 'my tie'. It made me laugh every time she did it.

[petrotsky]

Oh I totally agree. Most of my post is unfocused rambling. Just the other day I was going to the store and thought that I needed to sharpen my typing skills because of this site.

[petrotsky]

Absolutely

[bayourod]

It's probably mt fault. I'll try to type slower in the future.

[petrotsky]

I forgive you.

This sure sounds like the beginning of an opus....

Guess I need to go over and check it again!

Fewer is for discrete units, such as hours or dollars. Less is for non discrete units such as time or money. Examples:

Fewer hours is less time.
Fewer dollars is less money.

The same rules apply for much and many. You would not say I have too much children which causes me to have fewer money unless you were the product of one of the worst of public schools (not for the children, but for the grammar).
