In Defense of Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson was dumped by text message, apparently. Leave it to those darned bloggers (what kind of person blogs, anyway?) to make fun during this sad, sad time.

VH1's "Sizzler" reports "Jessica Dumped In 118 Characters or Less."

Or less?

That makes us shudder. It's fewer. When you're talking about things that can be broken into countable units -- characters, marbles, celebrity break-ups -- use fewer. When you're talking about things that can't be numbered -- milk, cleavage, disgust -- use less.

Unrelated: Jessica Simpson needs to lighten up on the spray-tan, don't you think?
