I don’t nitpick when individual people make this error. But Facebook?!?

“fewer”

(Which is also my answer)

@shawnp0wers I think I get it! Please don't nitpick on every error I make, they are likely far more than I know, but I don't mind to be corrected often so I maybe improve slightly.

@hehemrin My non-native English-speaking friend, you TOTALLY get a pass on such nuance. Even native speakers mess this one up all the time.

“Less” refers to a measurable amount, “fewer” refers to a smaller quantity of individual items.

So, “less water”, and, “fewer glasses of water” — it’s really subtle, but something Facebook should have caught. :)

@shawnp0wers Thanks. In this example - if you change "posts" to "content" - would "less" be correct then?

@hehemrin Honestly, you understand it better than… 75% of Americans. (Really!)

If you are clear on then/than — you could basically teach grammar classes, lol!

@shawnp0wers Hehe, I have so many grammatical errors, but thanks. You are far better than me in English grammar. Then we take an ice cream. ???

@hehemrin We would “get” an ice cream, unless we were evil and taking an ice cream cone from someone. ;)

But then/than? Perfect!!!

@shawnp0wers Understood. Esp I should not take it from a child. :-) Thanks, my teacher!
