    It’s not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can’t count time. Same thing with kilos or meters or liters or a bunch of other things.

    It’s not a super strict rule that you can apply blindly anyway. Money is very much countable but it’s “less”.

      I have less money, because I have fewer dollars. I have less time to live than them, because I have fewer years left.
