Sure "mostly" does not mean for real a large number above in english. (sarcasm) |
Sorry to break it to you
from Oxford
mostly
Pronunciation: /ˈməʊs(t)li/
adverb
as regards the greater part or number:
the culprits are mostly, but not exclusively, male
usually; generally:
I made some good friends, but mostly met closed-minded people
You will notice no reference to the amount (let alone a large one) more, just that it is the largest.
Alternatively Webster
Definition of MOSTLY
: for the greatest part : mainly
Unless you are talking about some other English.
