Number vs. Amount 📝
Number = countable things (number of people, books, ideas)
Amount = uncountable things (amount of water, time, courage)
Never say “amount of people”—the implication is awful! People aren’t a substance.
Quick test: Can you make it plural? Use “number.” No? Use “amount.”

📚 Quick note: "Homage" pronunciation 📚
Standard: HOM-ij
(H pronounced) → "*a* homage"
Some use silent-H versions (oh-MAHZH), leading to "an homage," but the traditional pronunciation ("a homage") remains standard in formal writing.
Compare: "an honest bloke" vs. "a house"
