Hi guys,

What is the difference between "all else" and "everything else"

1. Other than those items approved by me, all else is prohibited.

2. Other than those items approved by me, everything else is probitied.

Both of these are acceptable, although 'all else' sounds a little

It seems to me that all else is in a more formal register, but that the meanings are the same.

Note a few expressions where all else tends to be used. Aside from these, everything else is more commonly used, I think.

all else being equal; when all else fails; above all else; before all else; to the exclusion of all else

Hi CalifJim,

I saw your yin-yang symbol which reminded me that 'all' may be more than just 'everything' (i.e. all things).

But, of course, in daily speak, where we only recognize things, the two expressions are synonymous.
