Is it midnight already? Quoting: WindyMind you have a way of making me laugh...even though I know you're not trying to be funny. :) I wonder who you are? I liked being anonymous, I miss it.

They mean the same thing—the opposite of more—but you use them in different circumstances (1). The basic rule is that you use less with mass nouns and fewer with count nouns. ... A count noun is just something you can count. I'm looking at my desk and I see books, pens, and M&M's. I can count all those things, so they are count nouns and the right word to use is fewer. I should eat fewer M&M's. Mass nouns are just things that you can't count individually. Again, on my desk I see tape and clutter. These things can't be counted individually, so the right word to use is less. If I had less clutter, my desk would be cleaner. Another clue is that you don't make mass nouns plural: I would never say I have clutters on my desk or that I need more tapes to hold my book covers together. ... |

Have some more time off now so more time to post. Good to see you. I took a video yesterday and there was what looked like a UFO on it. I didn't see it when I was taking the video. I have a new computer so I can't share it. I don't know why but I have it and it's in my computer lurking just like you. The UFO, which is no doubt a lens flare, made me think of your post. |

WindyMind (OP) User ID: 955168 United States 12/16/2012 11:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, he lied to me and said he had them because he didn't want them in his garage. He thought it was a fire hazard and he thought we could buy them at any time of the year. I have been having a difficulty with the fire element and am likely to start a fire. When I plug in cords they spark and etc. I do have six in my garage but I don't live anywhere I can shoot them legally. It's a dilemma but I do have a new phone with 8 pixels and so I am more ready to go that way. Quoting: WindyMind The plan was foiled due to the drought in Nebraska (where fireworks are still legal). I was afraid I might cause a fire where normally it would not have been an issue. Nebraska tried to pass a law against fireworks last year but it didn't pass. Maybe next year.... |
