Babies are countable, so the preferred grammar is "fewer babies".

I wasn't going to post that... but I certainly was thinking of it! (Sadly, that particular video misses Davos later correcting Jon in turn.)

A discrete countable amount (i.e. fewer babies) is preferred over saying 'less babies' based on rules written by now dead English professors.

Honestly, I could not care fewer.

It fewer babies not less babies

"Less babies" is grammatically incorrect. The proper wording is "fewer babies".

People who eat chocolate ice cream, or order Hawaiian pizza, are incorrect. The proper ice cream is pistachio, and the proper pizza is pepperoni New York Style.

I agree; grammar rules should be abandoned. From now on, I'm going to use the word "less" to mean a larger number of something. If you can't understand me, it's your fault.

“Less” versus “Fewer”.
