EDIT: you guys have dug up some truly horrible pisstakes :D Thank you for those.

To the serious folk - relax a little. This is Mildly Infuriating, not I'm dying if this doesn't stop. As a non-native speaker I was taught a certain way to use the language. The rules were not written down by me, nor the teachers - it was done by the native folk. Peace!

      What would

      " $ touch fewer
      $ fewer .bashrc " Do?

        basically nothing/same “command not found”.

        “fewer” doesn’t have execute rights, nor does the next command use the fewer in current directory. But, taking all that into account and “doing it right…ish”:

        $ touch fewer
        $ chmod +x fewer
        $ ./fewer .bashrc
        #it outputs nothing, it's an empty script

      My pet peeve is people using less when they should be using more
