hahahaha....I´m gramatically yours^^

[ThorGoLucky]

Happily, our local Safeway uses the correct grammar.

[Sargonarhes]

Awesome. But I think the read problem is all the Harvard and Yale graduates. Because if they went to Harvard they can't read and if they went to Yale they can't count.

"15 items or fewer" is an instance of hypercorrection. "or less" has been the preferred usage following count nouns for centuries. (Try Google Books search for numerous 19th century instances. "or fewer" is rarely used)

[headmouse]

That's it. I am printing off "FEWER" labels to take the Wal-Mart.

[TheRD3D]

I loved his facial expression at the end (:

[JollyManProductions]

I cant believe it. people are just standing there, and weird freaking al is in the store. cant believe no one's asking for autographs.

[nromaai2]

"less" applies to non-countable nouns, "fewer" applies to countable nouns.

It would be something like 150 lbs. or less, but it's 15 items or fewer

[number1selgomezfan1]

all i can say is he is soo right!! ;)

[sfurner]

What's wrong with 15 items or less?

[turbokillen]

Weird Al for president!!

[KingOfKatamari]

I understand that correct grammar would be "15 items or fewer", but "15 items or less" has become common usage and actually sounds more natural. Besides, if you were to point this out to your local grocery store, they would change the sign to "No more than 15 items", which also happens to be correct.

20 seconds of excellence.

[MissAbbyNormal]

*Hangs head in shame*, that is my grammar kryptonite. I get less/fewer mixed up all the time.

[YouKnow381195]

[theresaclueless]

THANK YOU for saving this country from idiocy!

[bcbwnews]

theres a sign that I drive by sometimes, it says Slow Children Playing... every time I am afraid some slow child will walk in front of my car or something. It should read Slow Down: Children are Playing

[Elinitsam]

You're right again Al! Good job!

[bobjr94]

Next fix all the misspelled and weird words. Pneumonia, Vacuum, etc...

[Enekobus]

Oh no, now I'm going to want to do that every time I shop.

[mightyhalo2]
