- lucb1e 2y agoThe headline says that's all that were charged. If I write "all four coal plants in germany blown up", nobody reads that and thinks germany had anything more or fewer than four coal plants. You don't need to know the total number because it tells you with "all [number] [objects]"
- setr 2y agoIf you wrote “all 4338 coal plants in Germany blown up”, I’d reasonably interpret it as 4338/4338 blew up. “All 4” doesn’t imply 4 total only because 4 is an unreasonably low count for total coal plants, not because “all [number] [object]” syntax is putting in the work. And of course, 28 is a reasonable count of total charged.
