Can you help me with something? When I read “all but resolved“ I think it’s been everything apart from being resolved? Am I cursed‽
In this case what I meant to say is that I practically don't have issues anymore. Apologies if it sounded confusing, English is not my first language.
Don’t apologize. It is mine and I struggle. Thanks for elaborating
That was actually a correct usage, fwiw (said as a native speaker with a penchant for caring about language – so that's all but confirmed).
That's how I understand "all but", but I've seen many people use it the opposite way, so maybe we're wrong?
Maybe!
