I'm trying to learn something... bear with me. You typed the cut below....
>>>>>.
First, the obligatory nit-pick... It ought to read "...100 words or
fewer." "Less" is reserved for amounts that can't be quantified. e.g.,
"A quart or less." :-)

I don't see the difference between "100 words or less" and "a quart or less"
in ability to quantify.

100 words or less would be any words less than 100. That is quantified.

A quart or less would be anything less than one quart. That is quantified.

I believe you, I just don't get it. Can you say it in a different way, or
use another example that I might understand better?

Thanks,
Kathy
