Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Number"

A: Going number one is exploration as you have to use the bathroom or you have a safe symbol just show up what you doing

A: You’re welcome.

I think that the writer is saying that Barbara is upset with the number of cops. Barbara thinks “the number of cops” is ridiculous. (There are too many cops)

The march was supposed to be “Jolly and good spirited” (happy and fun) but since there are so many cops Barbara doesn’t think the march is jolly or good spirited anymore.

I hope this makes sense.

A: Quantity is the measurement unit, whereas number refers to the chits used for votes. If you say quantity of votes, then you have to measure the weight of those voting chits.

A: 안녕하세요!

usually sentences involve vowels with a plural context. For example:

"many people like music".

"a lot of people hate math".

"so many people like movies".

There are a lot of sentences that can be used to express a group of people. Verbs like "Many" and other verbs like it involve a plural context with a lot of one object, not just people. However, there are also vowels specific to people. One of the most common words is "everyone". Unlike the other words, this one is specific to people. So if you were going to use this in a sentence, it would be something like:

"everyone hates ducks".

you can see that the spelling for the word "hate" has changed. This word is being pluralised to account for the amount of people you are talking about in this sentence. There is no need to explain context, because we already understand what you mean by using a word like "everyone". In english, most words are pluralised by putting an "S" at the end of them.

Hopefully this helps!

A: Absolutely!! There is a big difference in the meaning of “number of soldiers” instead of “number of armies.” If there was only one army with a lot of soldiers, just talk about how big or small the army was.

A: I agree with you. "Number" is a better choice. It sort of depends on how the writer is thinking of the situation. He might be thinking about several different sources of the data.

To me, "number" sounds better, but I will defer to the choice of the writer.
