      It just feels so petty. Not a single person reading “less cops” was confused by its meaning. I get fighting against misuse of your/you’re, its/it’s, etc. because they can make things harder to read. Fewer and less, though, have the exact same underlying meaning (a reduction).

        Can we at least stop allowing people to use ‘of’ instead of ‘have’?

        It doesn’t make any sense and I need to read the sentence twice to understand what they’re saying.
