quantifier meaning not as great in amount or degree; "of less 
importance"; "less time to spend with the family"; "a shower uses less 
water"; "less than three years old"

Fewer
adj: (comparative of `few' used with count nouns) quantifier meaning a 
smaller number of; "fewer birds came this year"; "the birds are fewer

Funny thing words.
