All refers to the individual scholars; whole to the
school as a unit.
Without, Unless
"He cannot miss the way without he forgets my instructions." "I will
not dig the potatoes without Tom comes to help." Use unless instead of
without.

Worse, More
"He dislikes arithmetic worse than grammar." Use more instead of
worse.
Rarely, Rare
"It is rarely that you hear of a prodigal youth growing into an
economical man." Rarely should be rare to form the adjective attribute
of the verb.
Real, Really
Real is often incorrectly used as an adverb, especially by
schoolgirls; as, "I think he is real mean." The grammar will be
improved by substituting really for real, but the expression, as a
whole, being applied to all kinds and degrees of offenses, has become
meaningless.
Real is often carelessly used in the sense of very; as real pretty,
real bright, real kind.
Recipe, Receipt
A recipe is a formula for making some mixture or preparation of
materials; a receipt is an acknowledgment of that which has been
received.
