Spoils alert warning

[mrswdk]

Concise description:

• Change 'less spoils' to 'fewer spoils'

Specifics/Details:

• At present the alert which pops up if you try to cash in only 1 or 2 spoils says 'you have selected less than 3 spoils' (or something like that)
• This is incorrect grammar - the number of spoils being discussed is quantifiable, so the message should say 'fewer'

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Promotes good English
• Raises standards

This forum is run by self-styled native speakers of English - let's native this mother up!

Either statement works, while fewer might be slightly better.
