Description Andrew Martens 2015-02-24 16:01:24 UTC
The word "less" refers to bulk items which aren't individually counted (Less water; ). "Fewer" refers to things which can be counted (Fewer water molecules; fewer seconds). Thus, the button which reads "Less options" should, in fact, read "Fewer options."

Reproducible: Always

Text fix: Less -> Fewer options

Summary:

Changed "Less Options" button text to "Fewer Options", as is
grammatically correct.

I kept the variable names constant so as to make this a simpler fix,
though that can of course be changed as well.
