I think you mean fewer.

Technically, it should be 'fewer' but I think 'less' is not wrong.

Actually, it escaped my attention. Yes, some would say that no fewer than was more appropriate (dolls -- countable). But even if you use no less than, you'll have a lot of company.

I wouldn’t say that it technically should be fewer. I think both are equally correct in AmE, and less is more common.

Fewer/less concern is probably one of those things that is in the state of evolution. As long as I'm alive, however, there will be at least one person who makes the distinction. After that, go for it, guys.

Thank you. But in china, teachers will think that sentence is not correct. I am very annoyed. It sounds good to me.

Can you give some examples? What condition should be in state of evolution? Thank you.
