Naming Groups (Duo, Trio, ...)
-
Is there a systematic way to name groups of things based on the number of things in the group? For example, I'd call a group of 2 things a duo, and I'd call a group of 3 things a trio. What would I call a group of 9,175,853 things?
a lot?

I think its just a way of counting in Latin. So it would have a name: Latin numerical prefixes[^]

Juging by the spammers thats exactly what it is... They all have illageble anonymous names, and in general they come with all kinds of inappropiate offers...

Do what any American does when faced with a number bigger than four, call it a 'Bunch'. Bunch the collective noun for everything in the US. Not for them a Gaggle of Geese, A Crash of Rhinoceros or a Flange of Gorillas. They have not heard of a Murder of Crows, a Troop of Mushrooms or a Nest of Rumours. Alas, for everything beyond 'Several' it becomes a bunch.

Don't forget that two or more Americans are a crowd.
