actually the TV news always say half of those who died are women and children, and somehow they always give the impression that this is a very HUGE percentage - which leaves me to wonder - what is the other half that we are talking about? Isnt that 'other half' juz as 'many'?

never able to understand tat...
P.S > are u sure they said 50% are women? I hear many times they say half of them are 'women AND children', which leaves me to wonder my question above...
