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.

I called you a grammar nazi because it's a perfect description of your behaviour in this conversation, right down to a need to be the only one who's right and being unable to tolerate colloquialisms.

For a grammar nazi you sure don't seem to read all that carefully.
