It's just like when he finally got a used runabout boat, he went on

he was boatless for years, he didn't ask.....

What kind of boat do you have Kevin? Can we see a picture of it?

Several times today already.

Actually twice, not several. You do know the difference, eh?

So when did I ask prior to those 2 times today?

Does anyone still pay attention to the likes of the New York Times, or
the "main stream media"?

Harry,
Just between you and me, wordplay is not your strong suit.

What would you like to know?

Several has a number of meanings, but when used as a quantifier, the first
definition in most professional dictionaries is is "more than one."

I don't know what you know, Jim, since you keep your "profession" a deep,
dark secret, but you've never provided evidence "word play" is among your
abilities.

Bzzzt. Wrong again Harry.

Why the need for the personal attack Harry?

Really? Gee, the first enumerative definition in the OED says (more than
one). Later, it defines the word as meaning "two or three."

You own a dictionary that trumps the OED? I doubt it.

Even the cheap Merriam-Webster defines several thusly:

2 a : more than one several pleas b : more than two but fewer than many
moved several inches


Note the FIRST definition: more than one.

Buy yourself a real dictionary.





Most people understand that the word 'several' means more than 2 or 3 but
not many.

Think what you like Harry.

Harry,
Several can mean more than one, but in the context you used it, it normally
means more than 2, but less than "many".

If you need any help with your wordplay let me know.

As I stated, word play is not your thing. Your argument is with the
editors of the OED and with the editors of other professional
dictionaries.

This is your new, improved, more mannerly behavior?

Is this your idea of a discussion regarding a New Year's resolution?

Is there something about my post that is personally offensive?
