Worse for me is the nonsensical "all X don't" when what is meant is that 
"not all X do". An example is when a train is approaching a shorter 
platform and the announcement is that "all doors will not open at this 
station". The reality is that some doors will be off the end of the 
platform and so not open when the train stops. Similarly "All people do 
not have milk in their coffee" which would imply you do not need to make 
milk available although some people do actually prefer to have milk in 
their coffee.
