In this sentence " Americans, for the most part, find their strengh in individualism." 'for the most part ' is explained to be 'most of the time' on most cases,But I think its meaning is 'most of Americans'. What do you think?
Thank you!
The actual meaning of "for the most part" is:
In general, usually. For example, For the most part she is very good-humored, or The committee members agree for the most part. [Late 1300s] Also see the synonyms by and large; on the whole.
so, you are incorrect re the meaning of the phrase, but correct in that the writer IS suggesting that most Americans feel this way, simply because, on this occasion, the writer is discussing Americans.
Do you understand what I mean?
Oh, you have misspelled "strength"...did you know that? (You wrote "strengh")
