Nanita  +  187754 Tue, 24 Jan 06 01:47 AM Hi, here I am again, always doubted Well, I have doubts as for the function of 'at all'. I thought that 'at all' meant 'in any/none way', and I am mixed up because I read some people wrote it meaning 'in total'... can it be as well used like this? isn't 'in all'? Teach me the real function of at all. hugs from Brazil. Nanita Joined on Mon, Nov 28 2005 brazil New Member 15 the best advice is found on pillow! =D

There are 6 chickens in all. but I've never heard "at all" used for "in all". MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
