The most annoying english language mistake is the misuse of borrow. They say, "Can you borrow me a pencil."
ITS LEND YOU IDOIT
CAN YOU LEND MY A PENCIL
NOT BORROW ITS LEND
then they say but than what does borrow mean
then I say
WHATS YOUR PROBLEM
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH
YOU MORON
and than I take a deep breath and count to ten
they say well Could you still borrow me that pencil
THAN I GET ANGRY

actually 'can you borrow me a pencil?' can mean 'can you borrow a pencil for me?' so it does not have to be a mistake.

Less and fewer.

If you can count them its FEWER not LESS!

Fewer and fewer people know the difference.
