  • Not sure what you think the relevance of a Spanish-English translation of the word “multiplying” has here… but nonetheless, you can see the correct usage of the word “multiply” versus the word “times” in my explanation above. For further clarification I would suggest a real dictionary, like Oxford, Meriam-Webster, etc.

    I’m sure plenty of people will continue to make the mistake and it will become an accepted variant, though I wouldn’t consider it to be the correct usage of the word. Similar to the word “irregardless”, it’s a word, it’s used incorrectly in place of “regardless” very often, and therefore is an accepted variant. It’s just not the correct word to use. This is why I offered you my initial correction.
