It is not a question what people believe, it is a definition in dictionary and sorry to tell you that, to change a definition way to less people "believe". Please do not use "most people" without numbers to prove, thanks!

Edit: Ok, the problem is in early stage (~1990) mostly RPGs existed and to differ them from normal RPGs they used the networksetting as prefix. This changed a while now, we are no longer in 1990s and we have a lot more "genres" using MMO networking...
Most people call MMORPGs MMO, and I'm pretty sure you don't need to resort to precise number to affirm it. But the real fact is that nobody cares and it doesn't matter what word we use. Ugh.
