Hi teachers,
I know I can find similar threads to this, and I have read one recently. I do NOT wish to waste your time for it. But I'm still a little confused.
Two lines in an episode of Switch at Birth:
- What makes you think that she's going to let you?
- I'm going to give her double the values for her shares. And it'll be worth it to give her one less reason to visit us.
Could we use "fewer" here? Is it just out of habbit or by some grammatical rule that "less" is used here?
Thanks.
Jennifer
