How much or how many clothes?

0The answer is the first one. 02br

00(Clothes is a countable noun. Thus, my bet is "many".) 02br

00"Clothes" is a really funny word. It is always used in a plural form. Nevertheless both "many clothes" and "much clothes" are grammatical (though "many" is more common) 02br

0 I think you could say either of the following: 02br
02br
00I am hot because I am wearing too many clothes [articles of dress]. 02br
02br
00I am hot becasue I am wearing too much clothing [clothes collectively]. 0-

0 Jane is too old, Paco. We can't say "I've been awake ever since five and sooner" and we can't say "too much clothes". Grammaticality stems from usage. This is not used, or at any rate, not used often enough to count. 0-

I am not an expert, but I’ve been arguing with a coworker about this for to much time… to many hours have been wasted.

In my opinion, it’s all about the quantifier. If something has a known or implied quantifier, you can use many. If the quantifier is vague, you should use much

Some examples:
I have too much cheese. (quantifier could be slices, pounds, ounces, whatever

Anon - The quantifier for clothes is 'items of clothing' or 'articles of clothing' or 'pieces of clothing'.

A sock or a glove is an article of clothing, but usually a 'pair of socks' is counted as though it is one item. Same for a 'pair of gloves'.

Note that the word 'clothes' comes from the word 'cloth', whereas socks and gloves were originally made from leather. This is perhap

We can go on and on about the singular and plural questions but in my own opinion, I agreed the qualifier

Is very important. For clothing, I would say either “too much” or “too many” works but it must be in the right context and with the right qualifier.

I drank too many cups of coffee this morning which kept me going to the washroom

I drank to much coffee this morning

Clothes is a countable noun so you think it is many. So, how many clothes are you wearing right now, seven?

The word "clothes" is plural, so it would be "I have too many clothes".

One would say "so much food" and "so many grapes". My reasoning is that this would apply hear as well.

Good discussion. I disagree with the last poster - and it didn't help that he or she spelled "hear" instead of "here".
