Dictionary of English - fewer or less
fewer or less
Fewer means 'not so many'; less means 'not so much': Fewer jobs mean less money in the town; Fewer people would take up less room. Less is used with expressions of quantity: less than five miles; less than 10. Less is often used in place of fewer, but this is widely regarded as incorrect and should be avoided, especially in formal writing.
