"all restraint" or "all restraints"? [closed]
On Lexico.com I found this example:
- With strings and piano, all restraint vanished.
while on Wikipedia I found another:
- All restraints require a physician's order to be applied.
Does all restraint mean every restraint? What is the difference between sentence 1 and 2?
Solution 1:
(2) refers to physical devices; each kind needs to be approved by a doctor.
(1) refers to emotional restraint; presumably the musicians were playing uninhibitedly.
