Often I see these two homophones mixed up; some writers seem to believe that like after all, there’s only one right word and that it has duo meanings. That isn’t the case.



“All ready” means “entirely ready.” For example, The paratroopers were all ready to jump.



“Already” means “previously” or “so soon.” You might write, I cleaned the bathroom already (previously) or Is it dinnertime already? (so soon).



Phew, glad to see we’re now all ready to use these two words correctly, already!



Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
