    Not sure what you think the relevance of a Spanish-English translation of the word “multiplying” has here

    It’s a more authoritative answer than a random comment by a grammar nazi.

    Also the dictionaries you mentioned aren’t great about including common informal language, which is what ‘times by’ is.

      Yes I’m sure those at Oxford and MW could learn a thing or two from wordreference.com’s Spanish translation, which made the same mistake you did.

      Thanks for calling me a nazi though, during otherwise polite conversation… have a good one.
