So if plenty do and plenty don't, it is a false dichotomy.

Not necessarily, plenty /= most or a majority, just that there is enough to satisfy a need, be it physical or opinion. Both guilty of using a noun where a comparative adjective would be more appropriate.

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.

Regrettably, you are displaying a lack of education. It is a pity nobody took the trouble to teach you some Latin.

Show me that proof. Plenty is not a mathematical function. Can you imagine a requirement: 'give the engine plenty of fuel'.

Nice jibe on the Latin, are you published? I am, perhaps we could exchange papers, mine's on Horace odes 3.14.

You mean like the requirements plenty of us get from business users until we nail them down? :tongue

Not sure why NLyUK brought up Latin may have well have brought up philosophy. :tired

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.
 
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.

That's cos she was a blonde haired blue eyed woman who obviously can't be evil.

Anyone who tried to arrest her would be dead.

A terrorist is a terrorist regardless of what they look like.
