Anonymous  +  962992 Fri, 06 Nov 09 02:40 AM Hi       May I ask you a question? I use "less" before uncountable noun, and "few" before plural noun. But I find many sentences used "the least of" with plural nouns. Is this sentence grammaticaly correct?   Your problems are the least of my concern.   Thank you   Anonymous
