What's millions upon millions
Message from beifun posted on 31-12-2010 at 15:53:48 (D | E | F)
Hello.
Could you help me please?
quoted sentence:
There lived millions upon millions of poor and tired human beings.
I've known "millions of",but what's "millions upon millions of"?
I guess it is another form of "millions of millions of",right?
