Having worked in public policy for several years, the 26-year-old Londoner had come to an alarming realisation about the future of the UK, the world – and the human species.
Several cannot mean two…but several can be 3. My sister called me to deal with “several” whatevers, I came over & there were 3 whatevers (can’t remember what it was), and I was like what the hell, sister, you said several & looked it up. Several sounds like 7, but it can mean 3 to idk, 9. It’s stupid.
For 3, most people would describe that quantity as “a few”.
No, I think that’s talking about Aria Babu, a person from London who’s changed the focus of her career to become a “pronatalist”. The woman in the photos is Simone Collins, and I haven’t read about her age. I’m usually the kind that reads the whole articles on links but I could only bring myself to skim through this lunacy.
She’s 26?
What is “several” defined as here? 2? 3?
You seem to have the same problem I do. 🤭 it turns out several is kind of a fucking useless term, meaning more than two but fewer than many in number or kind. So…it’s defined by a bunch of nonsense-fluff numbers.

That reminds me of when my 5 year old nephew started telling me a story by going, “Back when I was a little boy…”
Maybe it’s like 1.05 years, but that round up
It appears she was 26 when Malcolm proposed on reddit in 2013. She was born 1987, and he 1986.

Ah, I assumed it was about Collins. That’s on me for not looking up the article.
To be fair, it’s such a load of nonsense that it isn’t really worth reading…
