*fewer. You can't have half a dependency
Huh. I never realized that fewer was integer typed and less is float* typed until this comment.
Not exactly. I've usually heard it explained as "quantifiable" vs not. If you can attach a number, it's "fewer", otherwise it's "less".
e.g. less money, fewer dollars
Countable nouns vs mass nouns.
Correct !
Fun fact: you actually can in Pascal, even when building from binary dependencies.
I think you can in Rust though, e.g. switching individual features from a crate on and off.
I don't like this word because i tend to confuse it with fever.
