Same Words Adressed Differently.

After reading this blog I remembered about something we had learned in class the other day, we learned about register or in other words the words choice you use when addressing a certain audience. In this blog they talk about two words: many and lots. By reading the examples stated in the blog I realized that these two words mean the same thing. What they are trying to show to us here is when to use either one of them. this is when register comes in, depending on the audience you were addressing you would either choose many or lots. I would say lost is more informal therefore would be used when addressing an informal audience like family of friends, when many is more formal so it would be used with a different audience. This can be easily understood with the word hi. If you were talking to your friends it would be hey compared to talking to a teacher it would be hello.
