| Sep 9, 2011 at 18:41 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | I never write "any" in such contexts as "If any A is B, then....". That's ambiguous since it could mean "If it is the case that any A, no matter which one, is B, then...." or it could mean "If there is any A that is B, then....", which has quite a different meaning. I'll look at rephrasing what I wrote here. | |
