Many, many thanks to all the good folks who responded to my question on
Friday about fewer/less and further/farther.
Here's the current tally:
Favoring interchangeable use : 4/14
Favoring unique meanings: 10/14
Experience, age, and level of education did not seem to be factors.
Those responding work in a wide variety of areas as well.
