Welcome to another Edit This® grammar lesson. In today's blog post, we will discuss altogether vs. all together. Do you know the difference between them?
Most people reading this might respond with a resounding "YES!" However, they tend to trip more people up in everyday writing than you might think. So, let's clear up any lingering confusion so that everyone is on the same page once and for all.
All together (two words) refers to all at once, all in one place, or in a group.
We haven't been all together since last January.
The family gathered all together at the table.
We decided to travel all together.
Altogether (one word) means completely, entirely, or in total.
Suzi stopped caring altogether.
Altogether, we owe $500.
It stopped snowing altogether.
