“Fewer meetings.” Not “less.” | ||||||||

That's not really true, at least, outside of prescriptivist linguistics. > Less has been used to modify plural nouns since the days of King Alfred https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/less More reading on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fewer_versus_less | ||||||||

This is a good nudge to choose the grammatically correct option, thank you. I originally had "less meetings" before an LLM corrected me into using "fewer meetings". Then when talking about Orgtools to a couple people I heard them say "less meetings" and switched back thinking that sounds slightly more natural (but incorrect). | ||||||||
