In diagramming "many," would we note it as "some" or as "many?"

I just saw on a different message board that many is noted as some because most is strictly over
half.

"many" should be treated as some.
the example I saw was you can buy many stocks, but that doesn't mean you own most of the stocks.

Hi @COReee (great name btw), @Brooke-Salgado,
You guys have got it. Remember that some simply means a non-zero number. Could be one tiny subatomic particle, or 100% of everything. Anything other than 0. So you can confidently diagram many as -s-
Quick tip that I learned while studying: they will make it pretty obvious if they want you to diagram -m-, since it's quite specific. They will make it very obvious that it is the majority, or above 50%.
Hope this helps!
