Less or Fewer

[coldflange]

Aldi have a news paper advertisement stating " tone up for less pounds "

The ad is for exercise equipment - so I can see that pounds could be worthy or currency.

Should it be ' fewer ' or 'less'

Me and DH are at loggerheads...

Fewer. 😀

Thanks musical

That is what I thought it should be

If you can count it it's fewer.

There is less sugar

There are fewer grains of sugar.

I taught my Y6 children to check with spuds - less mash\fewer roast pots.
