too much of something
Hi,
When you have a sentential construct like 'too much of something' or 'so much of something', does it always have be that 'something' has to be an uncountable noun? Can it ever be a countable noun?
too much of money -- good, I think.
too much of 'countable noun'??

Hi,
maybe you are interested in this structure:
I think our teacher is too much of a <insert countable insult here>
She's more of a monster than a real person.
She's not much of a teacher, you know, she's more of a <insert countable insult here>
Sorry for the countable insults, but I can't think of other examples using this kind of structure...
