Natalie Odom is majoring in mass communications at the University of South Florida. She says, "I think it's awful because not everyone has an interest in math and science and if he cuts out areas that people have an interest in, that is just going to make for less students enrolled in college because they may not want to study a field that they have no desire or passion to study."Thanks for proving the Governor's point, Natalie. You'd think a "journalism" major would know the proper usage of "less" and "fewer".

Basic literacy is nowhere in sight. The distinction between “less” and “fewer” is obliterated, never used correctly, and it is very irritating.

She meant to say that they are “lesser students”.
