Shaw’s Grammar

I was at Shaw’s today, and happily noticed that the express lane’s sign read “10 items or fewer.” I’m used to seeing “or less.”

You go, Shaw’s.

One thought on “Shaw’s Grammar

  1. Fewer cats (plural, i.e., discrete) == less cattage (singular, i.e., an uncountable noun). How is it so damn hard to understand? ^_^

    So yeah. You go, Shaw’s.
