>fewer is only to be used when discussing countable things, while less is used for singular mass nouns. For example, you can have fewer ingredients, dollars, people, or puppies, but less salt, money, honesty, or love. If you can count it, go for fewer. If you can’t, opt for less

I just got back from a ride through Brooklyn. Serene, cage-free streets and great waterfront views.

I dont think people go by that anymore.
Usage is what dictates grammar , not rules and definitions.
Languages are fluid changing things.

One could make the arguement that "less" is acceptable. "Less" can be used to indicate a lower degree of something in a vague sense. That makes it so that the word is a more general form of "fewer."
The same reason we say "at least two things" instead of "at fewest two things." The "at least" is referring to the quality of the situation, not necessarily the quantity of "things."
Especially if we consider "cagers" as a synecdoche for "car activity," which is not countable, "less" makes more sense. I think from the context we can say that that is the case, and why the op may have decided to use "less" instead of "fewer." He's talking about the feeling rather than how many car drivers he counted.

conceded, especially in casual settings such as this. but there are still parts of life where automatically using accepted "proper" grammar is beneficial, and you play how you practise.
>>1461742
interesting idea, but in all contexts i've seen the word "cager" it's been synonymous with the discrete "person in a car" and never "traffic". true, this might be a novel use, but i'm skeptical of that as op's intent.

Being out on the road gives you better social distancing than being inside retard.
You are many meters away from everyone else and they are all inside metal cages.
If you are out on the road for the sake of riding on the road then it's fine. The reason cagers aren't driving around isn't because being on the road is bad, it's because the places they would usually go to are bad.

Public transit is a petri dish. Cars are volume inefficient. Bicycles are slow and make you stinky.

Everyone should be on a motorcycle.

The guidelines allow for going outside for exercise, which is better than staying inside. The media's coverage usually skips that as they filter down a 10 page document for an audience that has the attention span of a vegetable.

Didn't read your tantrum

Countable noun = fewer
Uncountable noun / mass noun = less

Fewer cagers
Less water

Educate yourself

Bros I take this thread back
>Go out riding the park
>Boris said people are only allowed outside to get groceries and exercise
>Park would usually would be completely empty at this time of day
>Instead there's normalfags absolutely everywhere
>Kids on bikes, runners and dogs all over the place
>Ride for miles through park without a problem
>Start riding down hill that leads out of the park
>Dog jumps out from nowhere and runs right across the path infront of me while I'm doing about 15mph
>No time to even react
>Hit the heckin good boy doggerino and the next thing I know I'm on the ground
>Heavy road rash all down my arm and hip, bleeding from my elbow
>Bars are twisted 45 degrees
Luckily the dog seemed fine and the owners only cared that I was alright, but I was apologetic anyway.
Hurts to move now though so I guess I won't be going back out for a while.
But the point is this quarantine has actually made the parks far worse, I want this nothingburger to be over now bros.
