“WILD VIDEO: Chicago Police Fire less than 100 Bullets at Suspect During Traffic Stop, Killing Him – Corporate Media Rushes to Smear Cops, but Evidence Reveals a Different Story”
“Nearly” sounds more dramatic than less than.
“Nearly” sounds more dramatic than less than.
Writing "less than 100 bullets" would be implying that the police should have fired (at least) 100 bullets. Also: "less than 100 bullets" could, legitimately, be said about the police firing only a single bullet. After all, "one" is less than "one hundred."
