Can we work in the difference between less and fewer while we're on the topic?

You go first.
Personally, I have a beef with the use of pick and choose.

[OakLeaf]

I'm still trying to get over "which/that."

SNORK! Another grammar thread

Indeed, that "sentence" needed a period or a semicolon.

I worked with a student last week who thought sentences weren't allowed to be too short. I suspect a teacher had told her that because she was supposed to write more, but I also speculated that children in homes with fewer books (and less emphasis on literacy and love of reading) might have much less experience with simpler sentences in writing, tho' they generally used them in their everyday language.

I need to find _Eats, shoots and leaves_

I just got an email from a company about a product I ordered. The last line is:

"If we met your expectations tell others, if we didn't tell us!"

missing a comma, right?

"If we met your expectations tell others, if we didn't, tell us!"

This has been driving me nuts.

Shouldn't it be "If we met your expectations, tell others. If we didn't, tell us"?
Comma splices! Eek!
