An Auckland woman has sent a complaint to Countdown over its poor use of grammar on some of its signs.
Karen Wilkinson has written a letter saying their in-store checkout signage refers to "12 items or less", when it should say "12 items or fewer".
In her letter she says it is an accepted principle of the English language that if the noun in question is countable, "fewer" is the correct word.
