One of my own personal torments is the misuse of less and fewer. I see it all the time on notices, and in Sainsbury recently it was written correctly on the wall in huge letters. Some manager (presumably) had seen fit to write it out again in front of the tills but using "less." I altered it - I know, sad or what, but I was so incensed. Beforehand I'd tried explaining that it was incorrect but the staff didn't get it. Thank the Lord the notices disappeared never to be seen again, otherwise I think I'd have had to boycottt the store.
