Language Error in FAQ

"The HD-DVD format has far less supporters, so the amount of players and hardware will be very limited. "

Fewer should be used instead of less. Using "less" in this context is completely wrong because it refers to measurement of degree and fewer refers to number. However, it is a common error, like using "is" instead of "are" for plural ("There's two things..."). I'm not a grammar Natzi, but considering that this is the place where people go to learn about Blu-Ray, proper English is important. Thus, I hope my feedback will be considered.

Sure, I actually know that (I'm just used to spelling it like in my native language.) and didn't bother to go back to change it. Still, I'm not the one to emulate here. I'm some guy on a forum with no pretension; the way I write matters far less than the way the FAQ is written. This website is the first Google result for Blu-Ray. And yes, I did notice the smiley (and I intentionally used a sentence fragment for effect :P.)

BTW: "is" is spelled without the "t" too.

Marwin is a n00b that can't type like a semi-literate human.

Thank you, that's all I wanted. I guess part of the reason I reported it is because I'm so used to fixing stuff like this on Wikipeda.org, but more importantly I wanted to help this site make an even better impression (however infinitesimally small the difference is). I want Blu-Ray to win. It's the best format and I don't want a repeat of Betamax.
