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.

the ozark way is...
1 of something is "one"
2 is "a couple"
3 or 4 are "a few"
5 or 6 are "a bunch"
and over 6 are "a whole lot".

If Over 6 is "A Whole Lot" in the Ozarks, than whose terminology would classify Over 6 as "A Great Big Bucketload," "A Buttload," or , better,"A Whole F*#%in' Lot?"
