Summary: Another sentence to hate.

I would like to nominate the following type of sentence as being
worthy of hate.  "All <whatevers> are not alike."  What is really
meant is, "Not all <whatevers> are alike."  There are more and
more of these appearing in print and being spoken in tv ads.
I cringe every time I hear one.
