Syn : {
Every }, {
Each }, {
Any }.
Usage :
Any denotes one ,
or some ,
taken indifferently from the individuals which compose a class .
Every differs from each in giving less prominence to the selection of the individual .
Each relates to two or more individuals of a class .
It refers definitely to every one of them ,
denoting that they are considered separately ,
one by one ,
all being included ;
as ,
each soldier was receiving a dollar per day .
Every relates to more than two and brings into greater prominence the notion that not one of all considered is excepted ;
as ,
every soldier was on service ,
except the cavalry ,
that is ,
all the soldiers ,
etc .
