I doubt that they'll notice - your letter was excellent.
I just can't help noticing fewer/less because it's one of my wife's pet peeves - one often hears shouts of "FEWER!" at the television in our house, as they (even the BBC nowadays) get it wrong again.
Of course, if enough people get it "wrong", it becomes right, because language evolves over time. Probably a sign of my old age
