Use of ‘All’ in ‘It’s All Your Fault’ – Sentence Structure and Word Usage

sentence-structureword-usage

When I type this sentence in Ms Word. "It's all your fault". It is underlined in green. The reason being given is that "all" is used with plural nouns. Instead entire is recommended as a correction.
But when I searched the Internet I have found the sentences like "It's all my fault or It's all your fault."

I would like to know if this sentence [It's all your fault] is idiomatic? If yes then why Ms word is showing it as incorrect?

Best Answer

Ms word is not a reliable indicator of anything about grammar.

This sense of all means the same as entirely:
American Heritage Dictionary all
adv.1. a. Wholly; completely

It's all your fault. is entirely idiomatic, common, and unremarkable.
