Easier to deny claims with less employees since claims review can be auto-magically programmed to deny by default. No human intervention needed. Profits continue to increase, USA GDP increases… everyone wins, right? Right?!?!?

I like to share this because not everybody is aware. If you can count it, it's fewer. Fewer employees, but less salt.

This is a fun one I picked up while living in Sweden. I didn’t realise we differentiated like this in English until I was taught that many is många if you can count it or mycket if you can’t, then a Swedish friend pointing out to me that they learn English the same way

I’ve eaten too many apples. I’ve got too much time to kill.

Less & fewer work the same. Language is fun!
