Sorry I don't converse with mad people.

This one na confirm ashawo! waste of sperm.

BRMN:
No agreement on this. Some doesn't mean majority, neither does it mean half. Some means few of something. It means far less than half of something. So u get it??

kpolli:
Some by definition means an unspecified amount of things, at least a small amount which might just be greater than small... So by definition it can mean anything from 2 to all minus 1... So my dear, we are both correct.... Why can't you just share victory with me

kunlesmiles:
Double dating is just too stressful and time consuming

BRMN:
Some can mean anything from all minus one? No, wrong. All minus one will mean 100-1, will be 99. And that's 99%. Can 99% be minority? No 99% is absolutely a majority. Absolute majority. And this can't be some, but definitely a majority. So u see that ur argument is wrong? Doesn't hold & can't hold water. QED

kpolli:
A little google (or any other search app) search will show that some means 1-99.... Only thing that is not in some is all, none and one.... So I know you think you're right but sorry you're not.... Some has nothing to do with majority vs minority

milemimi93:
Should men have backup gf?

BRMN:

Take note of number 5 above under Determiner. Also take note of number 2 above under pronoun.

That's the actual meaning referred to. At least a small amount of something. A small number of people. It can never be a great part of them, but a small part of them. That's a minority, not majority. So it's a minority or small group of women who do this. Are u still willing to argue this? Bring it on here, I will challenge u to it. I will show u why u're wrong on this! Waiting for u if u're still willing to discuss this!

Colourich:
You could end up losing the both of them.

kpolli:
Take a closer look at number 5 as you said; at the very least it's a small amount. Meaning it could be a large amount but the least it will be is a small amount... That means it can possibly be a large amount.... So you see, I win

BRMN:
No u misunderstood the context, it could never have been a large amount, it's a small amount, a small number, a small group.

kpolli:
Ok let's break down the statement.

"At least, it's a small amount." what does that mean? At least means minimum; it's a small amount is already clear. Putting both together, minimum it can be is a small amount.... Do you now agree?
