Hello.
Could you, please, explain the meaning of these expressions - twice as much again; twice as many again. Some examples:
1. Old fashioned steel armor weighs twice as much again.2. The output of the average worker today is twice what it was 50 years ago and will be twice as much again in 50 years time.3. By the middle of the nineteenth century there were twice as many; by the early twentieth century twice as many again.
I think, because "half as much again" = 150, and "twice as much/many"= 200, that "twice as much/many again" means 300. I'm I right?
