>Nonsense. Your turn of phrase was fine. People know that "everyone" means "a good number", "majority" in everyday speech. Why, only the other day there was a TV programme about cosmetic surgery. The blurb went something like:
>
>"Once upon a time plastic surgery was the reserve of the rich and famous; now everyone's having it done ... for a few thousand pounds ..."
>
>Now I certainly haven't had any done, nor anyone I know, but the implication of the statement is clear: "It's becoming popular". In the same way your statement says "The govt. is mistructed in many circles"


You mean not EVERY child is picking up golf because of Tiger Woods? :)
