I think it's reasonable to assume >50% by default, unless the source clarifies what they mean by "mostly".

>50% of words? Characters? LoC? Files?

Yeah, this is the bit where it really falls down, regardless of how you define "mostly"!

To me majority != mostly.

I agree that they have different connotations. However, in the absence of other information, I don't see how we could ever collectively agree on a better value. The least subjective option, as far as I'm concerned, is "more than 50%". If a is 50.001 and b is 49.999, then a is the one with the most, not b.

It's reasonable not to assume what they meant. They have a clear stance on the subject instead of letting us guess
