Again,it is of the essence of the concept that is be an indefinite number. Generally, it is greater than "few" but less than "most", although the upper limit is more speculative. If we were to evaluate it in terms of percentage, I suppose it would be roughly 10< x < 50. If we were to try to fix the midpoint of the range, I suppose it would be about 30%. This is, of course, merely to give a limited view of the concept, for educational purposes.......
