Toll crossing

Mar 15, 2007 09:26

I forget which fic I saw this in, so if it was one of yours - well - here is something to think about.

The phrase is all told not all tolled. Yes, all told infers the summation of something, but it is the telling of that summation. If you actually meant to refer to the extent of damage in a situation you can refer to the toll.

The toll was 5 buildings damaged and 3 more completely destroyed. All told, the town was devistated.
