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.


It's strange, to be an Oxford definition it's very poor, bah this dictionaries i take the common use in conversations, not a thing from 188X.
