Yup, that hit me, too.

People don't use the word "fewer" anymore. It's always "less".

But then, thy don't know alot of English these days, -and- Harcourt and Webster's keep changing things to suit the ignorant, so you can't even prove they're wrong anymore. *sigh!*

As for the video-game thing - I can see a bit of advantage, but it's still not physically using your hands to actually manipulate skillfully in a 3D area. That's really not much more than reaction time or visual acuity.
