Question Which is the correct usage in the following sentence, and why: Ý Many Americans eat fewer/less high-cholesterol foods these days. Source of Question, Date of Response Unknown Tue, Jan 20, 2004
Grammar's Response This peculiar plural — foods — of a word that is usually a non-count noun, food, calls for the quantifier "fewer," not "less," precisely because it is countable. Readers understand that it means "kinds of food" just as the plural "wines" (of the usually non-count "wine") refers to varieties of wine.
