The definition of a majority is "a number or percentage equaling more than half of a total".

You're from Portugal, so I guess I can understand you not knowing this.

Don't confuse me or my country with your lack of an education.

c :the greater quantity or share

 

I didn't want this to get unfriendly, but you obviously did. It's a perfectly good use of the word.

No native English speaker would ever use the word in that sense when dealing with definite proportions. It's amusing how you chose the C (less common) definition without clear values ("the majority of the time") when I specifically qouted the A (more common) definiton with clear vlaues ("a two-thirds majority").

Even more amusing is your belief that you know the language better than native speakers. That is some ego you have.
