    I think it would be one of those small things that constantly amuses me to the bewilderment of natives. One single letter stops this from being misread as “in everything, peace,” no? If even that?

      Not really, that extra letter is a noun case, it serves grammar only. I guess the word all (всем) is what helps distinguish between the meanings here. It belongs to the semantic field of mir as in the world, while Russians don’t use it together with mir as in peace.
