    FWIW, as a native speaker, “much more images” is incorrect enough that seeing it would tell me that the author’s first language isn’t English.

    Having complex and arbitrary grammatical rules solely to telegraph education sucks though, so vive la revolution.

      Thanks for the confirmation!

      Do you know what could be the explanation for google showing more results with “many more images”?

        Root cause? The complexity of English makes it an absurd choice for a worldwide standard.

          Every language is complex, wtf are you smoking? If anything I’d say English is the best choice for a global standard because of how adaptible it is and the fact that it’s already the global common language for a bunch of industries. Reversing that will be challenging if not impossible
