"All people are not trained" can either mean "no people are trained" or, less commonly, "it's not true that all people are trained." Using it the second way can be confusing because it doesn't really mean what the plain reading says, but I think that's what they're doing.
- pistoleer 2y agoThe second way is the antiquated british english meaning of the phrase. It's got a kind of "all but" deal going on: two ways to interpret it. Really annoying how the English language can't get quantifying phrases right.
