The statement that all of the countries with permanent seats in the UNSC favor increased immigration... When I was diagramming this problem I did so using ALL as a quantifier, but in the video, it was diagrammed as an S&N premise. My diagram: PS-ALL- FIPE Video diagram: PS --> FIPE Can someone please explain why, and how to know when to use it as a quantifier. Thank you!

    The word "all" isn't technically a quantifier, all basically translates to --> There's only "---some---" , "---most---" and "-->" when diagramming

    Hi all, This response is totally correct! All simply means a full formal logic statement. The best way I've found for thinking about Quantifiers is like little divisions between full S&N statements. A--->B All A's are B's. A-m-B The majority of A's are B's. A -s- B Some amount of A's are B's. A--->B No A's are B's. Hope this helps!
