Spoonful 67: ALTOGETHER VS. ALL TOGETHER

Everyone, everywhere, let's come together to discuss the difference between ALTOGETHER and ALL TOGETHER. 

ALTOGETHER is an chameleon-like adverb with three definitions.

(d.) completely:  Randy was so frustrated with online learning, he considered skipping school altogether.

(d.) on the whole, overall:  Altogether, it was a lovely graduation celebration, even though we remained 6 feet apart.  

(d.) in all:  Marilyn signed up for five AP classes altogether. 

                                                 ***
If you seek a harmonious group, you're looking for ALL TOGETHER!

(d.) as a group: All together, let's recite the following words: hope, dream, create, inspire.

(d.) at the same time, in synch: The synchronized swimming team exemplifed the beauty of working all together. 

I'm ALTOGETHER finished with this post. I hope we can safely come ALL TOGETHER in person, very, very soon. 

Sincerely,
Laura Fineberg Cooper

    Welcome to

    Swallowing too many grammar rules at once can be hazardous to one's health. That's why my goal is to deliver one spoonful at a time - in the most delightful way.
