How it's used
Functions as a formal adverb that emphasizes uniformity across a group or set of items. While it appears in everyday speech, it carries a slightly administrative or official tone, often used in announcements, shop signs, or rules. It effectively replaces the need to list individual items by grouping them under a single blanket policy.
Examples
All items here are half price.
Everyone who is late will be fined.

Common phrases
all free of charge
strictly punish all involved
Common mistake
Avoid using it for casual, personal situations where you are simply listing things. It is best reserved for when a rule, price, or consequence applies equally to everyone or everything in a specific category.
