4 Panel comic with 2 snails. Panel 1: Left snail craws behind right snail and asks: 'English is difficult. When do we use "many" and when do we use "much"? Panel 2: Right snail answers: '"Many" is for nouns that are countable, like apples. "Much" is for nouns that are not countable, like water. Panel 3: Left snail concludes: 'So we should say "many rational numbers" and "much real numbers"? Panel 4: Right snail is turned around to look (with pain?) at left snail. Thanks Hella (unixwitch).

The real numbers are not countable in a way that is unlike the way in which water is not countable.
