Isn't it fewer than two X chromosomes?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, I've been fighting a rear-guard action with respect to the 'less/fewer' distinction in American English for the past half dozen years. It's dying a pretty ugly death.

Don't give up, Karl. Let us rage against it.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes, it should be "fewer".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Mostly lurking...
Busy, busy day ahead! Must get moving. Want to just sit on couch. Still have yicky allergies. Gonna take a few days for the meds to catch back up. It is better than yesterday, though.

Bless you, my child. I will fight the good fight with ita and Karl.
It's a pet peeve. It's so much of a pet peeve that I've bought it a collar and some chew toys.

Good lord. Really, the image that sprang to mind just then...for the love of Pete, don't tell Jeeves. I blush and boggle at the memory.
BAD imagination. No biscuit.

All is well that ends in pizza.
