Help me correct this sentence

[DemonicHeart]

the sentence is something like this. 

"i saw someone with more than one facebook account"

or

"I saw someone with more than one facebook accounts"

but before you answer. the first one already hinted that one exists before so isn't saying, "more than one accoun*t* make it the right way?

for example if i said, i saw someone with more than two accounts. it hinted that two exists and once we are talking multiple is where the *S* come in

so when we say more than one, the other one (the new one) becomes irrelevant isn't that so? because the sentence about the ONE account so we shouldnt say more than one accounts..

whats your input? lol

First one.

I get what you're saying...

But I don't know your question.

If you want to make the one/two accounts you reference irrelevant then yes say it exactly like that,

If you don't want to, and want to make it where no account is singled out use the word "multiple":

"I saw someone with multiple facebook accounts"

Thats what i was thinking because saying i saw someone with more than one facebook accounts don't sound right

Second one because the first one i is not capitalized

If there are multiple entities, you use an "S". "He has two apples." However, if it is referring to there being more than one, you always refer to it as the single entity, plus an additional. "He has more than one apple, but that's all I know." "I saw he has more than one in stock."

First one.

You're describing "one facebook" (singular) account which wouldn't make "accounts" plural. Yes you are saying "more than one" but "one" itself is not plural.
