Saw a sign in Wilkinsons today by the till

"Let us all use less plastic bags"

It should be fewer plastic bags. maybe I am being pedantic but that is the way I was taught..... Fewer - number. i.e. fewer 'things'. Fewer people, fewer bags, but less noise, less mess.

I don't expect everyone to know that but if somebody is making an official printed sign I expect it to be correct.

pedantic maybe?
