Many vs Some

catatac7

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

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

And now I remember reading this. Thank you.

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.

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.

Haha. @ddakjiking Remind me to bring a notepad when I talk to you. I'll graph out all your statements.

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

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

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.
