fewer and fewer people are watching less television these days
You may have fewer ingredients but less salt. Or, people are buying fewer newspapers because they have less money. However, according to usage rules, 'fewer' is used when using countable things and 'less' is used for singular mass nouns
Contrary to popular belief, the words 'less' and 'fewer' cannot be used interchangeably. 'Fewer' is used when it would be possible to count the number of things. (Example: There are fewer people here now than there were earlier.) 'Less' is used when you cannot count the number of things.
If there were fewer of us, I could speak less.
And, or, but.
No can't be used to join sentences.

fewer

The theory is that you use fewer for countable things and less for uncountable things. For example fewer coins but less money; fewer teeth but less hair; fewer bananas but less fruit; fewer hats but less clothing. [You may have 6 coins, 25 teeth, 12 bananas and 7 hats but the other things don't go with numbers.)I have FEWER cats than dogs.I have FEWER pencils than pensThere are FEWER buildings in the country than in the city.Hope this helps:)

For a countable noun use fewer, for uncountable nouns use less.

Fewer
"fewer people now" would be correct. "fewer" denotes something that can be counted (like people). "less" denotes something that cannot be counted (like water or sand). FYI- the signs at WalMart are INCORRECT "20 items or less". It should be "fewer".
Fewer
