It comes as no surprise that such a euphonius term as umpteen, with such a grand, almost so-large-as-to-be-holy number meaning, would be the last remnant of this surely majestic number system."


WTF is this talking about? I can't believe that someone is actually trying to create a theory to explain what umpteen means lol.

I would suggest it's not a theory, infact above explains quite clearly that it relates to some sort of mathematical tool

When someone say's 'i've told you umpteen times' it usually means they said it once in passing and that is the second time, so i'm going to say 2.
