The use of plenty signifies sufficiency or selflessness.

A lot connotes many (friends) and much (money) respectively and indicates the writer may at some point may need more of the same in life, but not necessarily.

Who has the best quantity of either or an author? To me, the second also may indicate more of a boastful attitude than the first, to which that still may apply.

In the first sentence, the world plenty indicates that the amount of money/friends the speaker has is sufficient for some purpose, but doesn’t specify whether that amount is generally a large number or not.

In the second sentence, the phrase a lot indicates that the number is generally high, but not whether it might be enough to meet some goal.

What the meaning of “plenty” is given to “relational quantity”? Regardless of absolute quantity of friends/money/time/whatever, it’s enough for what you need. Whereas “A lot” is a statement about a large absolute quantity without a judgement on the value of that quantity.

On email, e.g. Me:

I have fifteen dollars for this dinner. I don’t know where I live.
Is that enough? (which means more than enough money for what you intend to do with the money and

less

than money) vs: Me: I have five hundred dollars to spend on this trip.
What’s a lot of money, right? ( meaning: 20000 in absolute terms) is an impressive amount of money for a parent to have but it’s so vast that it will not be

enough to meet a child’s needs and needs?

What would you see with any difference between ‘”original’ and ”diversity”? Why the differences are explained are interpretations. What type of difference can you suggest? If there is a way to differentiate between frequency and stylistic level. “a lot of lots of” is common and frequently used. “Plenty of” is a variant, not so frequent and a bit more elevated in style. “pluency” in French, Latin plenitate(m) meaning fullness derived from the Latin adjective plenus full/e in French.
