Given all the meta-errors in this thread, I don't know if yours is intentional (or even an error), but you've hit on one of my champion peeves. I assume you mean "We can't all be smart like you." (In one version, it's impossible for anyone to be as smart as Alex, in the other version, there is a subset of us who can't be as smart as Alex. Okay, maybe you really meant the first of these two
)
Similarly, there is a bumper sticker commonly seen here in touristy Central Florida that reads:
All of us are NOT on vacation!
I am pretty sure the intended sentiment is:
Not all of us are on vacation!
(First version - no one is on vacation. Second version, I'm not on vacation even though you are.) There is an important distinction between the two, though the person attaching such a sticker to his or her car might just as well choose one that says "You drive too fvcking slow!"
