everyone

== English == === Alternative forms === every one (archaic or when referring to every person or thing in a group separately, not as a group) arrywun (Bermuda) === Etymology === From Middle English everichon. By surface analysis, every +‎ one. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛv.ɹi.wʌn/ Rhymes: -ʌn === Pronoun === everyone Every person. ==== Usage notes ==== Spelled every one when referring separately to every person or thing in a specified group: There were three patients and she helped every one [of them]. In such cases it cannot be replaced with everybody without changing the sense. Everyone takes a singular verb: Is everyone here?; Everyone has heard of it. However, similar to what occurs with collective or group nouns like crowd or team, sometimes a plural pronoun refers back to everyone which is also reflected in verb conjugations: Everyone was laughing at first, but then they all stopped. / Everyone has a smart phone nowadays, don't they? In colloquial speech it is common to say everyone is not X instead of not everyone is X (both of which may potentially have the intended meaning that most people are not X). The same is true of other universal qualifiers such as everybody, everything, all. ==== Synonyms ==== (every person): everybody, the world and his wife ==== Antonyms ==== (antonym(s) of “every person”): no one ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === See also === Thesaurus:quantifier === Further reading === “everyone”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.
