He meant fewer engagement
Fewer engagement is grammatically incorrect. Fewer shits is colloquially incorrect. If they want to be a pedant, they should at least know what the fuck they are talking about. If I were to try to improve it, I would change "less shits" to "less of a shit" but it's all slang anyway. Anyone suggesting such a correction is a wanker.
Not in my area. Fewer shits is correct.
If you want to use less, say "less of a shit".
Yes I think "less of a shit" is the right way (as I mentioned in the comment above).
Where do you live? UK?
I live on the Isle of Quibble.
Ah that tracks
Looked at their profile, the funnier thing is that basically every post they make is grammatically incorrect
I know, I was joking.
