Either I spent too much money last night or I spent much too much money last night. Either is bad news and it probably means that I don't have enough now. Of course, that depends on whose money I spent.

Neither is good news, but 'much too much' is worse.  |

@@faint~ | I asked them to cast their votes. "Much too" had too many votes (and still does). Nobody says (that I know of) "I spend much too money". The others make sense, but that one doesn't.
(You can have too many twisters, but not too much twisters.)
(Thanks again, Mike.)
