<p>Regarding this sentence:</p><p><font size="4">"When the word went out that Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware was to be the Democratic vice presidential candidate, an immediate shout of praise arose from people who love trains."</font></p><p>This sentence does not necessarily mean <strong><em><u>ALL</u></em></strong> people who love trains, and more importantly, the meaning is not a matter of individual interpretation. The sentence only goes so far in its meaning. The word <em>people</em> might mean all people, but it might not. Without a modifier specifying quantity of people, there is no quantity specified. The only implied specification of quantity is that the word <em>people</em> has to mean more than one person. </p>
