Can "apparently" be used as an alternative to "it's said that"?
For a long time, I thought "apparently" is quite similar to "obviously". The biggest reason I have this confusion is that when I first met this word, my vocabulary provided a really bad translation. I didn't take it seriously at the very beginning, so I was misled for a long time. Today, I watched a video, in which I came across "apparently" again. I looked it up in an English-English dictionary, and it dawned on me that my previous understanding is wrong. "So, **apparently**, if you walk on the street in Miami, you're probably as likely to hear people speaking Spanish as English." The vlogger has never been to Miami. He just provided some views, that's why he uses "apparently". Does it mean, "apparently" is basically equavalent to "it's said that"? Thank you in advance. https://preview.redd.it/3o4cq97y7dbe1.png?width=1914&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a786fd54b90a3948eda6f7b4b55814c1cc30087
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?

Do all native speakers know that "Good morning" is "I wish you a good morning"?
I'm having fun studying English. I'm sorry for my poor English sentences. Then let's have a question. Do native speakers use "Goodmorning" after knowing the original meaning? I was curious, so I posted it.

Is the word escapee used in daily conversations?
As a middle advanced non-English speaker, I’ve never seen anyone say this word! Even in reality shows and tv series, I can barely remember anyone said that word. So native speakers, did you bump into this word before?
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".
