Word Facts
"Fewer than" or "less than"? Which should you use?
Answer:
It depends. If you refer to
something for which you can count individual units, then you should
use "fewer" (as in "I have fewer gallons of gas in my car today than
yesterday" or "There are fewer assignments in this class than I
expected"). However, if you refer to something for which you
cannot count individual units, then you should use "less" (as in "I
have less gas in my car today than yesterday" or "There is less work
in this class than I expected").
