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.
