. I'd start by dumping a few of those words from your list, Tamara.
First on the dump list: the obsolete word unnumerable.
And I'd never even use innumerous.
Potentially on the removal list: uncounted, which could refer only to a small pile of say 20 things and the exact number isn't known yet because nobody has gotten around to counting. This word doesn't always mean "countless" and isn't always a synonym. Probably for this reason it would be the weakest "emotionally" ;)
How's that for a start? 8) _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Good start, Amy, many thanks for that :)
OK.
I could add a long list instead of removed items – incalculable, measureless, incomputable, immeasurable, etc… - but won't :)
I also don’t need any mathematical terms, like non-enumerable; inenumerable; nondenumerable; I know their meanings.
To be more specific: I just need a word from the list :) (with that meaning) to use with examples, or maybe cases, in (almost :)) neutral form - to say something like 'one can find there (in some books) "more than enough" number of examples that demonstrate/validate ….bla-bla-bla… '
The second question (about 'most emotional'…) was asked just inquisitively :) _________________ It’s impossible to learn swimming without entering the water… |
