wrong. many bears are polar bears. many bears are black bears. many bears are brown bears. many bears are little and cute and love clinging to eucalyptus trees, looking kinda stoned. how is this all possible? because many ≠ most 🙂continue proving that you don't even have the intellectual capacity of a small child.

You proved it in regards to "many"'s use as a noun, not a verb as it was employed.Think that through carefully, before responding.
No, I posted the entire definition (noun and verb) because separating them is irrelevant in this context. Why? Because either definition would support it.
Why are you ignoring that? Explain, have it make sense.

But I'm not arguing right now that many equals most. How is this hard to grasp?

Lol cherry picked? We have entered the twilight zone. Here is what I posted:

Now notice how the noun definition is waaay at the bottom. Notice how the first definition at the top is "a large number of" ?
So again: saying a large number of conservatives are bigots is indeed a bigoted statement. This is not cherry picking, this is using the very first definition given. Can you explain how that is cherry picking?
Originally posted by SurturNo friend. Nowhere in the definition of "many" as a verb is it supported that many implies "most" - because it does not.

"many" was used as a verb. therefore you are just wrong, and your assertion that we must adhere to definition 2 is another of your pathetic attempts at changing reality by playing pretend. grow up, baby-man.

But again: that isn't what I'm saying now. What I'm saying is that saying a "large number" of conservatives are bigots is indeed bigoted.
Since right there, the definition, the first definition given...says a large number of.
If you want to say most doesn't equal many then okay, I concede to that.

The definitions posts were not only for the noun. That only came at the end lol.
So are you saying "many" in the way Steve used it, didn't even mean a large number of?

Right so in short your backtracking, and have no proof that this is in fact a bigoted statement. Cool. 🙁
But nobody is backtracking. At first I think I used the word "most". Since yeah, a lot of folk do use words like "many" and "most" interchangeably despite how proper that is or is not.
Then folks started whining and bringing up definitions, so I posted the definition. Saying a large number of conservatives are bigots is a bigoted statement.
