Can we all just knock the fuck off with the "but not all" qualifier? I think that people here are literate enough to TOTALLY GET that if you MEANT "ALL", you would have SAID "ALL".

Adding more words does not always convey more meaning.

Am I way off base here? I think it just trains people to think they DO mean "all" unless specified otherwise. If anyone misunderstands "some" to mean "all" they need to STOP BEING SO FUCKING LITERATELY LAZY.

"Some" "Most", and "Many" DON'T MEAN ALL. We get it.

The usage might be justified in rare instances.  Most-if-not-all times, most stands alone.

How about "most-if-not-all"?

That has a fairly specific meaning (although the hyphens are unnecessary IMO).

It suggests that the speaker believes that most X are Y, and considers it a decent possibility that all X are Y.


I have no idea if anything I'm saying is relevant to anything at all.

Sombunal is aimed to indicate that the speaker is talking from a subjective position "Some of X" (perhaps "Some" could even mean "Every X I Observed, but I haven't observed ALL X in the world, so I can't say for sure about those). In most cases, its to specify that  you aren't making a braod statement of fact, but rather a statement from a position of "partial knowledge".

A: you are replying as if you'd agreed with what he said, but the content of your post makes it clear that you entirely missed his point.

B: It seems like surely you've seen me riled up before? Because this is not it. I should find instances of "riled", to jog your memory.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also, the thing is, "some" ALREADY MEANS THAT, I mean FUCK, we are not a community of retards!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That wasn't riled either, FYI. I'd be grateful to anyone who could get me riled right now, take my mind off things for a minute.
