Maria Popova May 4, 2013:
Вот мне интересно спросить людей, которые плюсуют к "to everyone", а если бы в оригинале было бы: "всё самое интересное - для каждого" - как бы тогда вы перевели?
А теперь подумайте: есть ли разница между "для каждого" и "в массы"? И куда мы эту разницу дели, когда написали "for everyone"? Просто подумаем:)
