Mine’s that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher’s pet and get off on exerting their “superiority” on others.

Fuck you “less than” is just better than “fewer then.” Think I’m wrong, tell me what these symbols are called “< >” that’s what I thought loser.

    The mass noun ‘e-mail’, like ‘mail’, does not get an ‘s’ when speaking about more volume.

    It’s as gauche as “y’all” in wedding vows, and leaves a similar impression.

    Stay tuned, and we can talk about used-car lot jargon like “the ask” and “the spend” next!

      Just thinking about the email one…

      I would say one email, two emails… but a lot of email. If it’s an unquantified number then I drop the ‘s’.
