THANK YOU.

(Obviously this doesn’t matter. Language evolves. And no one cared about this rule until the last 200 years or so. But my parents drilled this particular correction so firmly into my brain that it bothers me when others get it wrong. “Fewer in number, less in amount.” Similarly, “farther in distance, further in degree.” And you stand on a PODIUM, you speak from behind a LECTERN.)
