[QUOTE="ErolGarip, post: 2830311, member: 88736"]Just proved now "money is countable" and "much money" is wrong, "many money" is correct, here again, last post by "Garipx", [url]https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/how-much-or-how-many-for-money.3356019/[/url] (heart of proof is in last paragraph there) If the Mod there deletes it also, let me repeat the proof here. If we show a set by "{ }", money={dollar, cent} as they put "dollar" too in money set. But, we know that "1dollar=100cents", therefore, there is "countability relation" between "dollar" and "cent". So, if we write it in this form, money={100cent, cent}, you can see there is only one element in this set, and it is "cent". Also, with "100" in this set, you can see the countability of this set, which is about money. It is not necessary to write "100" in the set as this set is about "countability". So, this set can be written as .... money={cent}... See this set "money" has only one element and it is "cent". So, we can also write it, without { }, as ... money=cent (which is countable)... In words, it is "money is cent"... Conclusion: "much money" is WRONG... should (have) be(en) "many money"... ("moneys" or "monies" is another story, their jobs of linguists.)[/QUOTE]
