What is the meaning of this sentence?:
"I can only do so many things in one day."
I think this means "There is a limitation on the number of things that I can do in one day." Is this right?
Another example from the Internet:
"I hate how you can only fit so many letters in making a fan page."
What does this mean?
Thanks!

In regards to "I hate how you can only fit so many letters in making a fan page.", I really do not know exactly what that means.
> Usually, when I hear it, it is an exclamation of frustration.
Basically you are right it simply means that even if you try there may not be enough time in a single day to achieve everything that you want to.
As for *"I hate how you can only fit so many letters in making a fan page."
I'm only guessing but I think the author is just angry that there is not enough space on the web page to write everything that they want to write.
I hope this has been helpful
Oh, I see. I couldn't understand clearly why the author get angry, but your comment made it clear. Thank you very much.
