I learn something new everyday with my children, without which I probably would never have learnt or known of modern trends if it was not for them.. I am so blessed.

The one thing that has always tickled me is this expression of “how many …” and add something in your words you want to emphasize thereafter..  Like how many hots is it today. The idea is that it must give the listener the knowledge that (as in this example) it is very hot, but purposely using english “badly” so that it sounds kinder garden and thus funny and memorable. It funny because the things you use are typically not countable or able to be made plural, but you do in context .. but if you could it would be a very small number or big number, or a little or lots. If you could.

How many colds is it today; Just how many cutes was that; how many windy’s is it today; Look how many reds there are in that advert; how many drunks is he. (Note you do not use drinks because they are countable.)

Hope you enjoy it as much as I 🙂

Have a great day.
