It's official. Per JJ, my co-worker, the following standards of counting apply:

1 of something is "one"
2 or 3 are "a couple"
4 or 5 are "several"
and more than 5 are "numerous".

Please implement as soon as possible.

Sorry, not my area...

Boatload, goatload, and metric goatload are all measures of volume - that's a different department :)

I believe [profile] zylch may have defined these in the past...
