shouldn't that be 'how many'?

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

are you suggesting that "A Fibonacci" is a discrete quantifiable unit?

[duffgallagher.livejournal.com]

The use of the word 'much' would work fine were 'A Fibonacci' a concept. That said, numbers by their very nature are symbolic representations of an abstract concept. So then presenting 'A Fibonacci' as a direct object and using the plural 'many' could be forgiven.


I recon :)

no, but i might be suggesting that 'a Fibonacci' implies a set of numbers of which she may be able to fit a slect few up her shnoz.

One can never have too much Fibonacci.

hee hee. Fibonacci is a mass noun now, like Ghiradelli. Or heroin.
