> Regardless how does 3.6:7.8 ie 46% constitute a majority? Most is a word. Words have meaning.

Graciously, they are off by a few percent. Parsing words does not diminish the magnitude. The issue still stands. A large enough portion of the worlds problems dwarf the initiative to give everyone a webpage/domain. It's silly enough to discount.

From half. “Most” is likely close to 65-70%. And 46% is “less than half”.


Trying to make some separate point about parsed words (you really left the subject behind for some reason), in this case, is not a compelling argument against the assertion. I phrased it in a more amicable form (the way it was obviously intended to be communicated) and another random person, takes up with minutia. Good luck with that.


You don’t need to parse or interpret words. Words, as the other commenter said, have meanings. Use these meanings instead of making up nonsense.
