n The final error is another I’ve mentioned repeatedly. “Less” is used when there is a mass amount; “number” is used when you can count the individual units. Examples: less snow, fewer snowstorms.... less sugar, fewer sugar cubes. In this case, it should be “fewer people.”
I’ll run another writing quiz in a few months.
