Does “not all” mean “none” here?
Chapter 3 of *Pride and Prejudice*. From the context I feel the author wants to say Mr. Bennet gave no satisfactory descriptions despite all efforts by his wife. But doesn’t “not all” mean “not every but some”? Or am I misunderstanding the context?
A question about pronoun "it" in this sentence
My teacher told me that the pronoun "it" refers to animals or objects only, but in this sentence, "it" refers to "someone" and someone is a person. Does that statement always hold true? By the way, if I am not sure about the gender of the subject, which pronoun should I use?
Can I say "no temper" to someone who's throwing tantrum?

What's the opposite of cunchy when it comes to apples?
It may involve a food culture difference. Most apples are crunchy but in many Asian countries, non-crunchy apples are also popular. I can't find a word to describe how they taste like. What's the proper adjective here? Thank you in advance.
Do native speakers ever use the word "stigma"?
I can feel that my stigma has gotten worse. Does this sound natural? What I mean by this is that I can feel myself getting exhausted easily, and my health isn't as good as it used to be. Edit: Sorry, I meant to say "stamina".

Or do both work?
Is the phrase "Make the kids breakfast" used to mean both making breakfast for kids as well as serving the kids breakfast?
In everyday conversation, do native English speakers use the phrase "make someone breakfast/dinner" to convey the idea of both making and serving breakfast/dinner for someone? Or is it used to mean preparing only? Thank you in advance!
