"All but" should mean "everything except", but it doesn't.

    Well, sometimes it does.  Sometimes it doesn't.


    In fact, this second usage -- meaning "almost completely" -- confused me for years.  I just avoided the usage because it didn't make sense.  I totally agree it ought to go away.

    Autistic Avenue hates these sorts of common phrases that don't make literal sense. They all but drive me mad.
