Does it also bother you that a lot of people tend to say "amount of people" instead of "number of people"? I think of cannibals talking about their food whenever someone says "amount of people".

It never has, but it probably will now. Your comparison reminds me of the phrase "2.5 kids".

Also "Less" vs. "Fewer".

If it doesn't bother you, try making the same mistake in the other direction and asking for fewer milk in your coffee.
