Is it necessary to put a "ones" after "200" in this sentence?
The most interesting is that you can attach more than 10 photos to the wall post — up to 200 (ones)!

The most interesting what? There needs to be a noun here; for example, "The most interesting thing is...".– Steve MelnikoffJan 22, 2014 at 16:05

So "interesting" cannot be a subject, yes?– nikiforovpizzaJan 22, 2014 at 19:26

That's correct.– Steve MelnikoffJan 23, 2014 at 8:30

@SteveMelnikoff Can't the subject be implicit? "The new wall post has useful features. The most interesting (one) is that you can...", i.e. isn't "one" optional here ?– jlliagreAug 27, 2016 at 23:48

@jlliagre in that context, yes; but that wasn't the question.– Steve MelnikoffAug 28, 2016 at 7:17

The most interesting thing is that you can attach more than 10 photos to the wall post --up to 200 - is correct.
The word ones we use to describe those ones in particular.
I have seen all 200 photos of yours on Facebook. Those ones are really nice.

1Not me, but possibly because you didn't make clear what is correct? OP doesn't seem to mind though.– nxxJan 23, 2014 at 12:18
Not only is it not necessary, it is indeed wrong.
