40. I disagree that it is similar to "fewer" and "less." The reason

People are increasingly using “fiance” regardless of gender is to overcome sexism. People of all ages must learn to adapt to social change in reaction to unfairness. There is no such bias to overcome in the example you gave. People who do not understand the correct usage of “fewer” vs “less” may be many, and the language experts may or may not throw up their hands and give up trying to fight the misuse. But this is quite different from eliminating unnecessary gendered usage.
