(King's Quest VI)"Ah, but advice is free, Alexander. Making use of it costs much more." (King's Quest VI)"The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural." (Revenge of the Sith)"So fate has arrived. Many years have gone since that day." (Samurai Jack)And some more examples I can make up on the spot:"Much of the controversy pertains more to religious belief than science.""We are generating too much power to store in our batteries.""Many of you may doubt what I am saying.""We have many assets which aid us in marketing.""Many people prefer not to talk about politics.""Our company controls much of the market.""We have so much peanut butter that we don't know what to do with it.""Too many people are content to just vote on the Presidential ballot and ignore the mid-terms.""There is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.""I like this game very much."Actually, what I struggle with is to find any particular situation where even "much" sounds weird. The pattern I notice is that it's cases where "much" is used basically alone. Even then, it's only a little weird and it's not universal anyway. Nothing serious at all.</blockquote>
