Amount vs Number



AuthorAmount vs Number
I was looking at various About the game pages, and I noticed something that just irritates the heck out of me. The word "amount" is frequently used, incorrectly, where "number" should be used. A few examples:

Forum Rules - ... posting messages with an extremely large amount of characters without spaces will result ...
Recruiting - The upper one displays the amount of troops in your castle.
Gambler Guild - The amount of victories necessary for passing to a new level ...

I could go on and on. I'm aware that these pages were probably translated from Russian by a non-native English speaker, but still, this mistake is so easy to avoid. Which mods are responsible for these pages? Are they amenable to inputs?
for Omar Contreras:
This is a very trivial mistake, so trivial that it shouldn't be made, but so trivial that nobody would probably bother fixing it.
Also it doesn't really affect my understanding or seriously annoy me, so whatever.
There is a group of players that helps the administration with translating: https://www.lordswm.com/clan_info.php?id=6000

"Please contact Beliar if any mistakes/errors/omissions are found."

So you could give that a try.
Thank you. That's very helpful.
