03:5603:56, 22 November 2022 diff hist −67 Why is there anything at all? →Argument that "nothing" is impossible: "all-encompassing nothingness" is a misleading poetic description, not a philosophical concept. Why? Because nothingness is also the lack of space. "the cessation of existence cannot..." is self-contradictory if we assume the impossibility of nothingness.

This is a revert of my own edit, which WAS MEANT TO TEST the response of WP:BKFIP, who claims that "all but disappeared" is better, because it conveys a nuance, understandable only to (maybe not even all) native English speakers. I have no idea what he will do, but this time I do not even care about. Tag: Reverted

The correct and natural form is "most of the people". We could also write "the majority of the people". BTW, "the people", not just "people".

I want to TEST the response of WP:BKFIP, who claims that "all but disappeared" is better, because it conveys a mysterious nuance, understandable only to native English speakers. If the vandal does not respond in several days, I will revert this edit by myself. See the talk.

So, they must be compound determiners. But "PART OF", though looks similar, is NOT. By the way, the words: once, twice, thrice are neither compound, nor determiners. Tag: Reverted

Besides, after your revert we still have the same problem - no link to the main article. So this time I used a standard way.
