Me: Help me
Ms. Fox shouldn't be teaching physics whetherless be alive
Is that the proper whether less
Is it used appropriately, spelled correctly, etc?
Or is it even whetherless?
I don't think I've ever used that phrase in writing before
12:34 AM Boyfriend: I don't think I've ever heard anyone use whetherless before
I think you're thinking "much less be alive today"
12:35 AM me: Nah I know it's something that at least
sounds like whether-less
12:37 AM Whatever, that's just another phrase I'll have heard or read before but wont actually be able to use for fear of misuse
Boyfriend: I can't think of anything like it
me: I dont think you read any less than I do, but I dont think it's exactly uncommon either
12:38 AM It's always used as "shouldn't do
____ whetherless ______"
12:41 AM Boyfriend: so... "Ms. Fox shouldn't be teaching, but nonetheless continues to do so
12:42 AM me: No
This is a comparitive statement
Boyfriend: Yeah, didn't think so
me: well... sort of comparative
They shouldn't be doing the first thing
but they shouldn't be doing the second thing even MORE so
8 minutes
12:51 AM Boyfriend: I really want to say "much less" but that's all I can think of
12:52 AM me: I'm just going to have to post a thread
