To put it bluntly, language is not static, it is not well-defined, it is different from person to person and from city to city, state to state, and it changes rapidly.

Don't they know that "fewer than" and "less than" mean both the same thing? Get rid of the "traditional fewer is used for things that can be counted". "Less than" is used in many cases that things can be counted (i.e. less than $50). Usage between the two varies from region to region and people may use "fewer" exclusively, or "less" exclusively.
