Pronoun of "one" is "it", or "he" if used to refer to a man; pronoun of
"everyone" is "he".

I prefer "among", but it may be necessary to look at the context to determine
which is more appropriate.

negative/minus sign, so "-50000" reads, "negative/minus fifty thousand".

The word "one" out of context is ambiguous.

I bought one book. (adjective)
One plus one equals two. (noun)
I don't want a that grapefruit. I want this one. (pronoun)

"Everyone" is an indefinite pronoun.

John won the 400 meter race. [Someone won the 400 meter race].
25% of the fruit was bad. [Some of the fruit was bad.]
The boy ate 25% of the cake. [Someone ate some of the cake]

someone, somebody, something
everyone, everybody, everything

Anybody who commits a crime knows that HE is putting HIMSELF at the risk of
being prosecuted.
Everybody picks up after HIMSELF.
Somebody lost HIS keys.
Nobody in the group thinks that HE could accomplish the task without help from
others.
Half the men survived the shipwreck; THEY lived to tell the story. (They <==>
half the men, not just the men)
