Qual é a diferença entre not only A but also B e not only X but Y ?Podes indicar apenas respostas exemplo.
When I was a high school student, 40 years ago, my English teacher taught me the difference is like below. 1) "not only A but also B" : B doesn't include A. For example, " not only in Japan but worldwide". 2) "not only X but Y" : Y includes X. For example, "not only in Japan but also in Korea". But recently, seems like 1) and 2) are used in the same way. Has it changed? Or my teacher was wrong?

As long as I remember, it has always been this:
"Not in Japan but worldwide"
b doesn't include a if you remove the word only.
"Not only in Japan but worldwide."
y Includes x.
if you said "not only in Japan but also in korea," it would include both.
So yes, both are used the same

Please let me ask this way. Among below 4 sentences, which are wrong and which are right?
1) You can find Kentucky Fried Chicken not only in the United States but worldwide.
2) You can find Kentucky Fried Chicken not only in the United States but also worldwide.
3) Chicken fried steak is popular not only in Texas but also in Oklahoma.
4) Chicken fried steak is popular not only in Texas but in Oklahoma.
Does 2) sound natural?
Has 4) been correct for a long time?
