Grammar lesson for former Education Secretary Arne: when something is not countable, it’s ‘less’ (as in ‘after I drank the water in the glass there was less) versus something countable like guns, it’s ‘fewer’ (as in after I stupidly took away one of the three guns, so there were fewer guns in the room).
Via Free Beacon:
Obama administration Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Friday for pulling students out of school until gun laws change, and Monday, he doubled down in an MSNBC interview.
In light of the school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, Duncan argued that America must “think radically different than we ever have” on gun control. He said that only increased political pressure can create the necessary breakthrough to make schools safe from shooters.
“As adults, we’re failing to keep our kids safe. We have to create a level of tension, honestly, that will help us break through politically,” he said.
Duncan said teenagers are leading the charge to finally stand up to lawmakers and bring about the widespread public desire for new gun control laws.
