Plenty defines the number at least >0, so it is a false dichotomy. 'Plenty' in this context is a pronoun, not a noun, and is correct and sufficient to define a false dichotomy.Originally posted by Gibbon View PostNot necessarily, plenty /= most or a majority, just that there is enough to satisfy a need, be it physical or opinion.

Show me that proof. Plenty is not a mathematical function. Can you imagine a requirement: 'give the engine plenty of fuel'.Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostPlenty defines the number at least >0, so it is a false dichotomy.

Apologies. I just assumed you were uneducated from your poor grasp of grammar. Plenty is a pronoun in the context used. It could stand for either countable countable nouns.Originally posted by Gibbon View PostShow me that proof. Plenty is not a mathematical function.

some bloke phoned in to LBC and was saying we should have gone there, arrested her and try to rehabilitate her. I was visualising Rimmer
It would have been funny if wasn't so serious.
She wanted to been seen as a soldier she got to die as one. Good riddance. Drones may well be the nuclear alternative for terrorists, making sure they just don't bother, however we do need to keep an eye on them.Comment

That's cos she was a blonde haired blue eyed woman who obviously can't be evil.Originally posted by vetran View Postsome bloke phoned in to LBC and was saying we should have gone there, arrested her and try to rehabilitate her.
Anyone who tried to arrest her would be dead.
