I could be one less…
One less…
one.. less
It's fewer. Morons.
I realize that the language doesn't make sense – more is used for both measured and enumerated quantities, but less is to be used for measured quantities (less sand, less flour, etc.) and fewer is to be used for enumerated quantities (fewer cars, fewer trees, etc.).
