Hi,
Can someone tell the correct usage of 'less/lesser' in cases of distance, time or while citing numerical or statistical data:
1. It's (A)less/(B)fewer than twenty miles to Dallas.
2. He's (A)less/(B)fewer than six feet tall.
3. Your essay should be a thousand words or (A)less/(B)fewer.
4. We spent (A)less/(B)fewer than forty dollars on our trip.
I am utterly confused in where to use which.
Thanks.

As a rule of thumb,
Use fewer to modify a plural noun.
Example: I have fewer papers to write than last year.
Use less to modify a singular noun.
Example: You’ll need less paper if you type your report.
