@ladybug Would you mind if I ask you why the plural form of the word time is used, though?

A little unnatural
@markbfc “Many” is plural; therefore “many times” should also be plural.
If you said ONE TIME, then it would be singular; “one” is singular” and “one time” is singular.
—I will remind you one time.
—I will remind you many times.

@ladybug this helps a lot, as it makes me understand and decode the English language better, with the help of all of you guys. Every now and then I'm able to write a sentence here and there that sounds natural to you guys, but 90% of the time I'm not. xD
