All day, every day, etc

We use all with some singular countable nouns eg day, morning, week, year to mean “the whole of”; we use every with day, morning, etc to say how often something happens. Compare:

I work hard all day. (= the whole day) I work hard every day. (= Monday, Tuesday etc.)

We can use the whole day/morning etc instead of all day/morning etc.

We've been waiting the whole morning / all morning.

The whole is stronger than all in this use.
