		<description><![CDATA[Though both of these refer to some kind of reduction, they are far too often misused. Less should be used in general broad terms, like less soil or land. Fewer is used with specific items, like fewer leaves or trees. Generally, if it can be counted individually, then fewer is correct. If it is a [...]]]></description>

So, here&#8217;s a simple way to remember which one to use and their Latin meanings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading Lynne Truss’s book, “Eats, Shoots, and Leaves”, I had to comment about errors I see all too often as I bounce from page to page on the Web for my work. Very few Web content writers take the time to make sure their copy is clean. As professionals, we are expected to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Which one do I use? This one or that? This is another misused term that is so hard to figure out. In my days as a journalist, my editor wielded his pencil like a switchblade, stabbing and slicing my story every place I chose incorrectly.
