    But, far more importantly, mad propz to the WSJ for knowing the difference between "less" and "fewer".

    The "use 'fewer' for counting, 'less' for measurements" rule is really pretty obscure and useless. Only the truly pedantic care about that rule. On the other hand...

    theres no other explanation for that, right?

    The apostrophe rule for contractions IS an important, useful rule.

    Are we not missing the irony of nitpicking apostrophes and less / fewer in a sentence that contains the phrase "mad propz" ??
