How to use fewer in a sentence?

  1. Guy Trudel:

    Thankfully, having fewer red blood cells in space isn't a problem when your body is weightless, but when landing on Earth and potentially on other planets or moons, anemia affecting your energy, endurance and strength can threaten mission objectives. The effects of anemia are only felt once you land, and must deal with gravity again.

  2. Judy Norton:

    I guess at my core, I’m an artist, and so the opportunity to utilize my imagination, create things and share stories is what makes me happy and fulfills me… It wasn’t until many years after ‘The Waltons’ when I had gone back to theater that I had the opportunity to take on a role within a theater company as a writer and director. I found to my surprise that I really enjoyed it as well. And as you get older as a woman, there are fewer roles. So it can be a bit challenging to stay satisfied as an actor. As a writer, [my] age, sex, how I looked – it didn’t matter…. It was a great training route to hone my storytelling skills.

  3. Mark Twain:

    If we had less statemanship we could get along with fewer battleships.

  4. Robertson Davies:

    Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog fewer when pursued by a mad woman only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion.

  5. Charles Blow:

    He's a good kid, and just wants to go to school. But one thing that he told me was really astute and worth sharing : he doesn't want this story to only be about him, he realizes that there are other young people who have fewer privileges, less access and endure even greater traumas, but whose stories go unreported until something truly tragic happens. He wants the focus to remain on them. I couldn't be prouder of him for having the wisdom to recognize that.
