feel, fill
Feel means to touch or to experience
emotions. Some writers confuse it with fill,
which means to make full.
I feel there are better ways to fill my time than to watch
television.
fewer, less
Use fewer when writing about something you
can count; less if you would measure it in
some other way. Specifically, if you could put
a number in front of a word (five acres), use
fewer. If you cannot put a number in front of a
word (five land), use less. You would write
fewer rocks but less sand, fewer cookies but
less flour.
