would you say the same for "33 times longer"? that ut means "34 times the length"? for me "more X" and "Xer" are the same thing, so I don't get your system

- Etheryte 3y agoConsidering fractions might help you understand where he's coming from. If you say something is "0.5 times as long as a one meter thing" you would expect it to be 0.5 meters, but if it's "0.5 times longer than a one meter thing", you would expect it to be 1.5 meters. The same logic applies when you ditch fractions and use integers.
