Numbers

[gilana]

What range of numbers can be encompassed by:

• a couple?
• a few?
• several?

Any other relative quantity terms that you feel have a fairly narrow scope?  (And is a metric buttload more or less than an imperial buttload?)

A couple -- 2 exactly, no more.
A few - up to about 7
Several - same as a few
