<p>To be fair, Homer28 is absolutely right that this is not a majority. It is a plurality, which is still notable.</p>

<p>Yet I am sure that you agree that knowing the difference in meaning (in a definitional sense) between “most” and “most common” or “majority” and “plurality” is not an imperative skill to have for learning calculus or statics or electromagnetism or anything else that is important to an engineer. Would it be helpful for being a better communicator? Sure! But I think we all know that you don’t have to be a good communicator to be a successful engineer (though it certainly helps).</p>
