Grammar
Language skill flaw
Please read the following passage:
"I was saying I'm tired of people making flippant posts about ED, it was in reactions to a post AND SO MUCH I have seen here lately. It was taken wrong by someone who couldn't read.. But I own it.. I obviously struck a nerve and that wasn't my intent."
Please explain the AND SO MUCH right there???
I can infer from the words what the posters was trying to say, but isn't it grammatically incorrect?
I mean she should have said "It was in reactions to a post and SO MANY OTHER POSTS I have seen here lately" to be correct.
Any thought/s?
THANK YOU

It should be: "... it was in reaction to a post AND SO MUCH I have seen here lately". "and so much" is acceptable.
- It should be: "...
- it was in reaction to a post AND SO MUCH I have seen here lately".
- "and so much" is acceptable.
- "so much" by itself can behave as a noun, meaning "so many things", "so much material", or similar.
