"Number," not "amount." Correct English usage...

Question

The English word "amount" is used incorrectly in the 2.1 schema. The proper word to use would be either "number" or "count of."

In English, if an attribute is a countable quantity, then one should use "number" to refer to that count. So:

On line 153, "The total amount of on this server registered users," should be: "The total number of registered users on this server."
On line 158, "The amount of users that signed in at least once in the last 180 days," should be: "The number of users who signed in at least once during the last 180 days."
On line 163, "The amount of users that signed in at least once in the last 30 days," should be: "The number of users who signed in at least once during the last 30 days."
On line 170, "The amount of posts that were made by users that are registered on this server," should be: "The number of posts made by users registered on this server."
On line 176, "The amount of comments that were made by users that are registered on this server," should be: "The number of comments made by users registered on this server."
