Fewer/less notes

Which would you use.

"Look at all these files. I should take fewer/less notes."

"She should send him less/fewer notes."
  

Top answer

Fewer notes is grammatical because note(s) is a countable noun. However you will often hear native speakers use less with countable nouns as in less people.
