Thus, in a word, use less when you cannot count the noun modified. Use fewer when you can. Use less with singular nouns; fewer, with plural nouns. But if you're using a plural noun to measure a chunk or amount of money or time, then you should use less (less than five years, less than 2,500 dollars).

I had many more bananas than Tom. I had many fewer nickels than Alice.
