not having a sharp distinction between these concepts is one big reason people have trouble with the LSAT. So I kind of like that, as someone who used to tutor.

low IQ tell to even consider these as words to be potentially confused. I just had to google to find out how anyone could even misuse these and feel dumber for having read about it.

this is also one of those grammatical rules that highly educated people will sometimes knowingly break to demonstrate a lack of pretense, which annoys me even more.

The point of grammar is to convey clear meaning. This rule does not really matter judged on that basis.

Do you always make yourself look stupid when you try to make yourself look smart?

Figure out whether you're a descriptivist or a prescrptivist and get back to us.

On the weekend I like to go to the "10 items or less" line, and then harangue the cashier about how it should be "10 items or fewer."

Then I go back an hour later and do it again.

"You still haven't changed the sign. Maybe I didn't make myself clear the first time."

Nah, it's too much fun to smugly correct them. These people are an unwitting source of many subtle 180s.
