* [[Fewer vs. less]]: In most cases, use ''fewer'' with [[count noun|countable]] nouns and ''less'' with [[mass noun|non-countable]] ones. However, ''less than'' (not ''fewer than'') is recommended before nouns that denote distance or time. For example, {{xt|I picked fewer than one hundred apples}}, but {{xt|we go on our trip in less than four weeks}}, and {{xt|he can run the 100 m in less than ten seconds}}, because the word ''time'' can be understood to be implied after ''less''. In short, if you'd count it, say ''fewer''. If you'd measure it, say ''less''. | * [[Fewer vs. less]]: In most cases, use ''fewer'' with [[count noun|countable]] nouns and ''less'' with [[mass noun|non-countable]] ones.
