| Dec 29, 2020 at 21:31 | comment | added | ChinG | Ah this is exactly my dilemma- one of is very different from each of. "One of" requires only one entity to satisfy a condition, whereas each of requires all. Is the meaning to be inferred from the context? | |
| Dec 29, 2020 at 21:18 | comment | added | Michael Harvey | "Either" is only applicable to two people or things. 'Any' can mean 'one of or each of' more than two. | |
| Dec 29, 2020 at 21:16 | comment | added | ChinG | I guess the dictionary meaning, "some" or "the smallest amount of" does not seem to correspond to any used in 1. above, which implies each, or every one..It is as if any is being used for both either one of you or every one of you... | |
