@grammarcoach08: And it came in a moment of such gravity! 🤣🥰 #grammarlesson #lessvsfewer #gameofthrones #GrammarMatters #wordusage

matches :

i like the one time he doesn’t correct it. it’s right after ramsay takes his “20 good men” to raid their camp and davos is telling stannis what happened. he says “20 men, maybe less”. stannis didn’t correct him, showing how stressed and focused he was on the situation at hand.

EfEmAl :

stannis did correct grammer several times and this was an ongoing joke by the writers. he did it mostly on Davos in season 2 to 4. Davos then corrected other people's grammar in later seasons.

Chrstphrtlrshp :

It was included to characterize him as pretentious

Potatoes are good :

Just shows that Stannis is a stickler for the rules. He gave up his family’s ancestral home because the rules said he has to obey the king (his brother). He sat in a siege because he was told to. He follows grammar because that’s what you’re supposed to do

KJ🤎 :

Fine, I’ll rewatch GOT again 🔥🔥🔥

nickicoal :

It's less water but fewer cups of water.

RetroRiven :

so we use Fewer when we're describing something quantitative and Less when we're describing something, qualitative?

neshashanelle :

He actually said it a few time to the extent The Onion Knight did the same by the end.

user3674324751992 :

Davis learns and ends up correcting Jon later in the series

shortbus77 :

Davos corrects Jon on the same thing. Season 7 Episode 4

Dipndot :

Here's a trick to help you remember: There was Less water in the Lake, therefore there were Fewer Fish.

chenefertiti :

Lesser means reduction in quality. Fewer means reduction in number. The point he made was that they underestimate the fight ahead.

Spencer :

less water in fewer cups

Chillfr :

I like when Weird Al held up a "fewer" sign over the "10 items or LESS" sign at a grocery store 😂

Renee :

Learning grammar through GoT is what I never knew I needed

Morgan_on_paper :

I love when these accounts find me. It’s something I never really considered but it’s extremely helpful.

aikyn. :

Thank you for the lesson - I don’t know this🧠

hellophia :

Honestly one of my favorite scenes because it’s something I would do 😭

Henry Thomas ❌ :

Less is for Lester! Fewer is for feuding!

Ksmpmjoll❌ :

I struggle with English lessons in a show that doesn't exist in a world where English does

Cat Lovett871 :

fewer

Chris Worldwide 🌎 :

Great catch

Monica Simmons Davis :

Michael Berrier :

He did this first very early talking about Davos's fingers.
