    It was supposed to be a teeny joke (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    If you can count things (one person, two people, 10,000 people...) it's fewer. If you can't count things (bread, sugar, rice), it's less.

    I'm just going to agree before I start counting rice just to prove a point :p

    You don't say one rice, three rices, do you? So it's less.

    Grains of rice would be fewer - because you can have one grain of rice, or 10,000 grains of rice.
