Of course it is! I was wondering if someone was going to spot it!Use fewer when referring to people or things, and less when you are referring to things that can't be counted or does not have a plural.

Isn't it 'Fewer and fewer people'?
Asha,You're quite correct. Less and less people can tell or know the difference in meaning between, say, Farmer's, Farmers and Farmers'. BTW, your post has grammatical mistakes too.
That would, of course, be "a spelling checker". I think a 'spell checker' is the desmans of Harry Potter and his ilk.

I think a few English people should go back to the English class!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHaHa. So True. I have seen foreigners who speak better English than English people. Why is that? is it laziness, can't be bothered attitude, Education fault.Have you also noticed that with the invention of mobile phones, people can no longer spell or let alone write anymore without using spell checker.

Isn't it more like:Aristocracy - You know who they arePolitical class - Those who line their own pockets by politics/changing laws to suit themselves and their cronies.Media class - Luvvie types who tell us what to like and what to dislike.Working class - Anyone who has a job aka the cash cow who pays for everything.Non working class - Those without jobs who cannot or do not contribute to any of the above and therefore useless.

AristocracyUpper Middle Class (or UMC)Middle ClassBourgeoisieWorking ClassThese are English Classes. Not Teaching English as a Foreign Language.Does anyone remember the put down from Allan Clarke (in Thatcher's cabinet), who lived in a castle, to multimillionaire Michael Heseltine when he said "and he (pointing to MH) had to buy his own furniture!" Absolutely superb!Anyone know of a half decent butler?
