I recommend Lynne Truss as a introduction to the life of a pedant. Dont worry, sorry, don't worry, people will accept you correcting their use of less and fewer after a while. Keep the faith...
PS If you can count it, use 'fewer' (like chickens or nuclear warheads) while if in it's quantity (like milk or sick) use 'less'. Juxtaposition is placing things together for effect - like 'milk and sick'.
