How do you eliminate any possible ambiguity from the following sentence?
Consider the sentence, “Everybody in each group spoke the same language”. I think most people would interpret this to mean that within a particular group everyone spoke the same language, but the language may vary from one group to another.
It is still possible to interpret the sentence to mean that everyone across all groups spoke the same language. Is there a simple way of changing the sentence to eliminate any possible ambiguity?
