I would just like to take a moment to sing the praises of the word each. It is the only word that comes to my mind which encompasses the totality of a word like all yet maintains the individuality of those entities included in the "all." The word every comes close to this, but it does not quite reach the level of separateness inherent within the whole that each so beautifully does. While every hints that there is more to the all that unmitigated oneness, it still favors that oneness in its connotation; each maintains the oneness, but emphasizes the distinctness within.
So here's to you, each!
