Default Re: OT: Debate

Technically, Greybeard is right with the grammar on this one Fyron. Since the "all" is inside the preposition, it is not directly affected by the not. A simple re-write gives: 'In all areas, not available.' So the correct way to say it would be 'not available in some areas.'
