[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 2075368, member: 24457"] Any time you are trying to say that something is in excess of a certain number, you don't say "over 100,000". Over is a preposition that denotes physical position that is superior to that of another thing. What you always need to say is "in excess of 100,000" or "more than". English comp 2 on college cured me of that Okie habit. When talking about the murrah bombing, why not use the actual number? 168 died. You also cannot say "as the amount of firearms"... firearms are something you count, not something you measure, like milk or sugar. It's correct to refer to "the number of firearms" [/QUOTE]
