Many vs Some

For practical purposes can some and many be treated the same way for LR sufficient assumption questions?

    Be careful because some means at least one, not more than one. Therefore while you would like to think that many is plural, it can be dangerous to do so.

    @2543 I'll sometimes use "some" when I mean 80% of something which confuses a lot of people. lol.

    And I as well use it interchangeably, (e.g. I have many good qualities.) - when I only have one or two. Parrump-Tss!

    many= some. aka more than 1, with the possibility of "all".

    Yeah. I treat some=many. I even use the LSAT-definition of some in real life now in that I'll sometimes use "some" when I mean 80% of something which confuses a lot of people. lol.

    I like to think that "many" does not mean one. And hopefully, "many" is more than 2. Just for the sake of, you know, sanity.

    But in all other respects, many = some and logically you should treat it the same way.

    "On the LSAT, the word "many" just means "some".
