Did anyone proofread the cards in this game? Fewer vs. Less is one of the easiest mistakes to correct. You use fewer when you are talking about something you can count. Fewer creatures, fewer life points, fewer grammar mistakes. You use less when you can not. Less power, less life, less laziness.

I expect a little bit more from WotC. Less from D3.

    That's not a hard-and-fast rule.

    Of all the things to make an all-caps fuss over...

    As I already said in another thread that you obviously didn't bother to search for, fewer vs less is a non-rule invented by accident and perpetuated by prescriptivists like yourself in blind ignorance to its complete non-relation with common usage.

    Please less threads about irrelevant **** so we can focus on the many real issues that need addressing.
