Fewer is restricted to count nouns but less is also possible with count nouns in many contexts. One common source of widespread incorrect beliefs about usage and grammar is when you have two similar words or constructions and one is limited to one context, people will often mistakenly believe that the other is limited…

You can’t copyright clothing because it’s a “useful article”. You could have a copyright in a design that appears on clothing, though, but the sleeves aren’t really a part of that design.

You know that that (mis)quote had nothing to do with whether she had read the bill, right? She was saying that once the bill was passed the American people could find out what it did instead of relying on what she felt were inaccurate reports about what it did.

I looked up a plot summary, apparently it’s a bogeyman/monster-under-the-bed type children’s monster that turns out to be real and once you learn it exists it torments you without end and there can be no escape.

Baba Yaga is objectively the best. Was rooting for her before I even knew she was in the bracket, and then very pleased to see she was.

Maybe not usually but stuff can happen.

Trump will probably just say that he already built a 1,000 mile high wall and yell “fake news” at anyone who notes that he didn’t.

Sounds like a liability issue.

But the article does say that his bail was revoked. You’re complaining that that isn’t included in the headline. And although the headline doesn’t specifically reference that aspect of the situation it’s still more accurate than your statement that he wasn’t jailed because he put a bounty on Clinton’s hair. That…

It’s a societal problem that “this child is a manipulative slutty bitch” actually works as a defense and that should be criticized. In a better world the best defense in calling for leniency would be just to talk about how the perpetrator accepts responsibility and is wracked with guilt etc.

Yes and when that happens it’s accurate and normal to say that the person was jailed for doing the thing that got their bail revoked.

You can’t get citizenship through DACA. You sign up until you die or the law changes.

Oh sure, when ancients stacked stones at Stonehenge it gets celebrated, but when I do it it gets frowned on.

“I think running 3 miles is impressive, whereas someone else might think only 3 miles is lazy. We can both be right!”

And “lazy” is what you would call an elective c-section? The attitudes people have around c-sections are totally bizarre to me.

It’s not as common for plural nouns to function as modifiers but they can (google “plural nouns as modifiers”). These sorts of things tend to be partially lexicalized so the fact that “women” appears as a modifier more readily than, say, “children”, doesn’t mean that every time it’s used as such is ungrammatical.

Are you trolling? I ask because you made no attempt to respond to my points and didn’t even acknowledge that dictionaries uniformly class “prior” as an adjective, which seems like something that should merit a response if you wanted to argue the contrary.

Dinosaur would be much less annoying than angel as the standard for female beauty.

You’re incorrect on both counts.

Nouns can be used pretty freely as modifiers in noun phrase structure in English, as virtually anyone with even a passing knowledge of English grammar knows.
