    Several of his children are fighting back.

    He has 6 children.

    When several is used, i would assume it’s more than half of the children.

    So, either 4 or 5 of his 6 children are protesting.

    Edit: 5 would be most of his children.

    It has to be 4.

      i love depicting language this way to decipher meaning but in reality most people don’t all abide by the same set of rigid rules that i want them to.

      this is certainly reasonable, though.

        • A couple: 2
        • A few: 3-4
        • A handful: 5 (because fingers)
        • A bunch: 6
        • Several: Exactly 7, always.
        • A number: 8-9
        • A whole bunch: 10 -20

        That’s about it off the top of my head.
