MC-214644 The Block of Redstone don't works correctly Duplicate MCL-13129 Grammar mistake on version chooser: "less" vs "fewer" Won't Fix

Comments

Thank you for explaining your perspective and the time you invested. I guess with the way my brain is wired (and that's likely why I'm passionate about Minecraft) I may sometimes struggle to appreciate language dynamics. I understand you feel strongly about it and feel free to close this Jira ticket.

Less is used for uncountable nouns, fewer for countable. If "options" is plural, that makes it countable by definition. Express lanes are, unfortunately, a strong contributor of this misconception. Here is a good reference: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/fewer-vs-less/
