Her acting was excellent but her accent was all over the place. I like her. She's good in Dune, too. I don't remember noticing her accent one way or other in that. I'm going to read the books and I'm looking forward to S2.
I don't take issue with "10 items or less" even though it's grammatically improper. Mostly because it sounds better or conversationally smoother. My hypocrisy is unbounded.
Like all the other grammatical annoyances discussed in this thread, I suppose it's not truly a sign of being uneducated. Fewer/Less just bugs me more than the transposition/spellcheck errors. And as was said upthread, "pedantry is often the signalling of being educated by those desperate to appear so." My formal education didn't get past community college and I know very well the limits of that. I'm not desparate to appear anything. I just like words, language, turns-of-phrase, etymology, etc.
