All together vs. Altogether

It's Word Wars Tuesday!!

Today we've got all together vs altogether.
These actually DO have a difference.

All together = everybody

Altogether = totally / completely

For example:

Let's sing this song all together. (everybody sing!)
This was altogether a bad idea. (totally bad idea...)

They were all huddled together to plan their escape. (you can separate the two words) = everyone was huddled in a circle together.

Their situation is altogether different from ours. = completely different situations


They danced all together all night long!
It was altogether an awesome night out!


NOW, DON'T confuse all together and altogether with all right and alright!

all right and alright mean the SAME thing.

All right = alright = everything is okay / fine.

Have a great day!!

:)
