Oh, dude, that's like a fancy way of saying total destruction, you know? It's like when something gets completely wrecked, like not even a single stone is left on top of another. So, basically, it's like everything just goes poof and disappears. Cool, right?
There is not a difference besides the fact that throughout the series they either reference the sorcerers or philosophers stone. The philosophers stone is British and the sorcerers is American. Other than that, there is no difference.
I think so - the actual meaning of the sentence is that you left every stone unturned, i.e. did nothing. The usual phrasing would be "I left no stone unturned", i.e. you did everything you possibly could. Triple negative actually. Which is okay. Even negatives cancel. if the sentence was "There was not a stone I left unturned", or "There was a stone I did not leave unturned", or "There was not a stone I did not leave turned", would mean different things... The rule is meant to correct ambiguity where some say "I ain't got nobody", to me they don't have anyone, where logically not having nobody, implies you have somebody...
It means to be done or over with. HOPE THIS HELPS!
