Three birds. No,not anymore or any less, just three birds. If I told you there were three birds,would you ask if there were more? Or perhaps if I told you there were Three birds would you think there may be less? What if I specifically,enunciated, slowly, that there were three birds would you still ask me if there were more or less birds, or would you write down three birds?
So if Isay three birds, I really mean three birds, no more,no less, just three.
Unless I say,possibly there were three birds,THEN you could possibly conclude, there may be more than three birds, then ask me if there were more or less but I could then give you the same answer. Three birds.
