Hi, Bob. (See^)

BL>  DD> There are less sparrows along the Gwydir Highway than there
BL>  DD> used to be.

BL>  BG> They've become smaller, have they? Or did you mean that they
BL>  BG> are not as prolific as before? Better leave the
BL>  BG> english-mangling to Rod, I think. :)

BL>   I think you may find that your Macquarie gives "fewer" as a
BL> secondary meaning for "less." There is nothing wrong with "less
BL> sparrows" unless you are Frank.

There is nothing wrong with less sparrows, but David meant fewer.

Regards, fIM.
