In my opinion, Sentence (3) means that I brought my luggage, what was in my hand is called "luggage", it is not called "passport". it has the same syntax with: (4) The thief brought a knife not a gun.

25 mai 2012 · There's nothing but a few crumbs left in the tin. None but the brave deserve the fair. However, this last example is already rather removed from modern everyday English, and the reply " There is no one but speaks Japanese in Japa n" is even further away.

Others are just pure shortcuts, even though in Europe you see Nbr. or Nr. quite often I think (In French, we would still write Nbre for instance!) There is no single official abbreviation.
12 nov. 2015 · Nov 12, 2015. #1. Hello everyone, I already know that "except" (meaning: with the exception of) can be used in the example I made below. My question: does "but" sound natural/correct in the example with the same meaning? ''We don't have any good soccer players any more but João Pereira.''. Meaning intended: all our players are bad except João ...
