2 Less Sciroccos

    So what you're trying to say is that a Scirocco like mine which caught fire recently is less Scirocco and a C5 full of 50 Sciroccos that recently caught fire would have been less Sciroccos?

  I'm sorry.  I tried to let this go, but the editor in me had to say something.

  Fewer Sciroccos.  Not Less.  Less is an amount (i.e. less gas in my
  scirocco) whereas fewer is a discrete quantity (i.e. fewer cars).
