Confusables Note

The forms altogether and all together, though often indistinguishable in speech, are distinct in meaning. The adverb altogether means 鈥渨holly, entirely, completely鈥: an altogether confused scene. The phrase all together means 鈥渋n a group鈥: The children were all together in the kitchen. The word all can be omitted without seriously affecting the meaning: The children were together in the kitchen.
