Never mind he was aquitted and me made a tweet about how relieved he has to be out of jail and that he is happy to be back at work which he had lined up for the very next day. It's amazing. He is like our NEET-God. While we sleep he is out there somewhere, hands on his hips, looking pensively at girder. The crisp night air like a layer of shrinkwrap against his stern perspiring visage.

>I don't know if either of these made me want to read the book more, but they are pretty funny
I'm doubt it comes across from my images but I really enjoyed them both. Thomas Covenant is borderline misery porn but with a surprising amount of optimism. Shocking combination but it works. Illearth War in particular is exceptional. Haven't read beyond book 3 because it has a great ending and I've heard nothing bad bad things about the follow up books. Lions of Al-Rassan is great. It would be amazing but the least interesting character takes up too much of the story.

That said I don't recommend either.

iirc the most widely accepted rule is that "less" is usable anywhere you would use "fewer" but "fewer" is only acceptable when referring to countable amounts.
The dude that said "less" only applies to uncountable amounts made that shit up relatively recently. Like within the last 200 years or something like that.

No way did he get acquitted for that. If you fall asleep and accidentally run someone over on the side of the road it's manslaughter all the way down.

Oh, nevermind. They'd be performing human sacrifices live on TV and hosting life or death gladiatorial games if the feds wouldn't kick their door in for it.

Zero works for countable and uncountable things:
>people
>countable, so 'fewer people'
>also works 'zero people'
>water
>uncountable, so 'less water'
>but still also works 'zero water'
