If we say something is all told we mean that is with everything included or counted. Okay. Let's continue. The origin of this phrase comes from an old use of the word' to tell' which meant to count. This is also where we get the word from as in bank teller. That's why we call a bank teller, a bank teller and I always used to wonder that too. Why teller ? What does teller have to do with that ? I guess there was an old meaning of teller. Which actually meant to count. So that's why we call a bank teller, a bank teller too, and you know, remember told is the past tense of the verb tell. So all told meant like all counted up or all included. Okay. Let's continue. All right. We got a couple of examples here. Elizabeth Taylor had eight marriages and seven husbands all told. So finally when you know throughout her whole life if he counted it all up that's what she had. Eight marriages and seven husbands. She married Richard Burton twice. So that's why that worked out that way. So she married the one actor two times. So that's why she had eight marriages and seven husbands. All right. Let's look at number two here. Barry Bonds ended up with seven hundred and sixty two major league home runs all told to be the all-time home run leader. So that is the way we use it.. When we counted everything or we included everything or we added everything up. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
