Note 98 — Chapter II
Reading edition
We might indeed go further and say that in ordinary speech some usually means considerably less than all, so that it becomes still more limited in its signification. In common language, as is remarked by De Morgan, “some usually means a rather small fraction of the whole; a larger fraction would be expressed by a good many ; and somewhat more than half by most ; while a still larger proportion would be a great majority or nearly all” (Formal Logic, p. 58).
