“Fewer meetings.” Not “less.”
This is a good nudge to choose the grammatically correct option, thank you.
I originally had "less meetings" before an LLM corrected me into using "fewer meetings". Then when talking about Orgtools to a couple people I heard them say "less meetings" and switched back thinking that sounds slightly more natural (but incorrect).
That's not really true, at least, outside of prescriptivist linguistics.
> Less has been used to modify plural nouns since the days of King Alfred
