Is "each and everyone" redundant? [closed]
Is saying "each and everyone" redundant?
Also, what is the difference between "each and everyone" and "each and every one"?
Thanks
Solution 1:
*each and everyone -- ugly coordination of determiner and noun!
each [one] [of them] = each (member of the things) = each thing
every one [of them] = every (member of the things) = each thing
everyone = every (member of the people) = every person
each and every one [of them] -- redundancy used for emphasis
Solution 2:
"Each and every one" is a stock phrase where both "each" and "every" modify "one". For that reason, it cannot be rephrased as "each and everyone" because that leaves the "each" dangling.
"Each one" typically has the same set of referents as "every one" which makes the phrase redundant. However, the two phrases have slightly different emphases. "Each one" emphasizes the individual, "every one" emphasizes the group. So this phrase is really saying "each individual AND the group as a whole."
