The fact that "less" is commonly used to mean "fewer" is not because of the laudable vivacity of the English language, it is because so little effort is put into teaching even rudimentary English grammar in British schools, that most people genuinely do not understand that there is a difference.

Bravo.

Americans are generally much better educated in English Grammar than most British people are (and I really don't like having to admit that).

It's true. But they have *different* rules, of course, in many cases.
