Army of One, throw up one of your pics fatty. It’s time for Getbig to have a good laugh while analyzing your hideous physique

Who cares?
A large bank account is the hardest trait for a man to achieve.
Anyone can take steroids, lift and be fit. Few are able to be millionaires let alone make six figures.

Few are able to become POTUS AND have a large bank account AND shake hands with North Korea

I am NOT bashing your writing style here, Atlas pump...but if I ever wrote something like this, I would want someone to point out the error. And it is only slight anyway - it reminds me of when people say "I could care less", when it is "I couldn't care less", implying that they already give no fucks, and can give no fewer fucks. ;D
Anyway, when people say "let alone", the larger accomplishment needs to come second. :) So in this case, it would be "Few are able to make six figures, let alone be millionaires" [and let alone be BILLIONAIRES, like Trump].
Only posting this for my last post on Getbig now at 8:08am Thunder Bay time, and hitting the sack [unless my girlfriend is stopping by, which she said she would].
And seriously - I'm not bashing your writing style, I just see that little error a lot, and thought I would point it out this ONE time. :) Probably because I'm logging off now at 8:08am Thunder Bay time. ;D

I respect this post. Sloppy writing and speech are so common now because it sounds fine. Another one is when people say, "irregardless" when there's no such word. But the "could" and "couldn't" example is the classic one. Although, admittedly, sometimes the incorrect usage sound better and more natural than the correct use. Like when grocery stores use to label the express line as, "15 items or less" when it should be "15 items or fewer". "Fewer" you can count, "less" for mass nouns. So you would say "This tank holds less gas than this one," and not say "This tank holds fewer gas than this one."
If you can count it, use fewer. Just like "much" and "many". If you can count it, it's "many".

BTW, and I'm sounding like I'm catching Matt's ADHD, I had a related discussion a couple of months ago when a friend was weighing himself. He said that if "many" is when you can count it then isn't saying, "How much do you weigh?" wrong because you can count pounds. No, it's not wrong because although you count pounds individually the word "weigh" is a mass noun. So it would be wrong to say "How much pounds do you weigh?" because now you are specifying countable things so you would say "How many pounds do you weigh?"
I know probably only Matt will appreciate this and the rest are realizing they just wasted 30 seconds of their life.
