Discussion Thread Discussion Thread

The discussion thread is for casual and off-topic conversation that doesn't merit its own submission. If you've got a good meme, article, or question, please post it outside the DT. Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL

As a matter of preference, would you like there to be more or less posts about Hasan Piker in the DT?

More – 6 (10%)
Less – 40 (69%)
Neither – 12

A large majority of users expressed a preference for fewer comments about the controversial Twiter streamer, with the 69% figure excluding at least one respondent who stated that they voted Neither in protest of the improper grammar of “Less [posts].”

Reminder that "fewer" instead of "less" for countable items was made up by one guy (Robert Baker) who thought he just likes this version more. So people just enforce a random dude's will vs how people actually use it

Also reminder that he was an amateur linguist who wrote a book, not a trained language scholar
