I hate to quote myself, but, dang it, sometimes when I'm right I'm right:

When referring to numbers using non-specific decriptive terms, please apply the following guide to ensure you use the correct terminology and avoid confusing the bleeping bleeps out of your readers:

A or an	=	one
couple	=	two
few	=	three to five
some	=	four to ten
several	=	five to a couple dozen
quite a few	=	eight to a couple dozen
many	=	ten to a couple dozen
bunch	=	ten to a couple dozen
umpteen	=	one to two dozen
bunches	=	twenty or more
lot or lots	=	twenty or more
heap or heaps	=	more than 50
kerjillion	=	more than 100

Come on, people; it's not difficult. Sheesh
