I think it's referring to the mass of people who were fatal victims of cars and are now part of the road.

Actually, using fewer in this context is archaic at this point and only done by pretentious wankers

That's true. If enough people get something wrong it is eventually considered correct. See also: Democracy

Using “fewer” in that context is perfectly fine, and no one would think it archaic.

Demanding that other people use it, that’s what gets people.

less/fewer is mostly just because people aren't taught about countable/uncountable I think and without that you just have vague feelings about which one to use.

I think it's that "more" is used as the opposite of both, so why have 2 words for basically the same thing?

I've had to train myself out of being a dipshit about grammar, and somehow less and fewer is the one that has been hardest to completely get past.

Fewer is deprecated. Its just a fewer useful version of "less".

I think getting countable / uncountable grammar points wrong bothers me so much because the opposite is literally the formula for "doge speak". "wow, many water, much bubbles" has the countable / uncountable adjectives backwards

Learning English as a second language, coming from one that has the same distinction, including for more, but uses the same word for "less" as "smaller", makes it really easy. It has to be fewer people, unless you mean smaller people.

Conveniently, the word for "bigger" is not the same as any of the "more"-words, so we have three for more but only two for less.

is it possible to just talk normally, sounding neither like a butler from the 1700s nor a doge meme? It's difficult to say.

English is a garbage language, with it's contradicting rules defended by weird nerds. The only good thing about it is that you can say a sentence mostly wrong but still be understood (much like my posting).

No, it's impossible. The best you can hope for is to be conversationally understood.

All words are just a random sequence of letters, you know? Just think about it. How do words even exist? They don't at all, in my opinion.
