No, why would I be annoyed about the history of the founding of the west? I am very very familiar with it. I'm only annoyed that people have been stating that same old statistic which hasn't been true for at least a decade. 41% is never a majority. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority

> 41% is never a majority In my country, 41% of people are red party, 38% are blue party, and 21% are green party. Which party has the majority share of voters?

  I think you're confusing 'majority' and 'plurality'.

    My mistake, you are correct - plurality is the correct word here. In my example the party with plurality can capture the majority of the vote, but that doesn't necessarily mean the party itself is a majority.

> I'm only annoyed that people have been stating that same old statistic which hasn't been true for at least a decade. Do you have a source? Wikipedia seems to still support the "same old statistic" in a lot of ways and indicates by all accounts an LDS majority in Utah.
