Podcast 2 — In conversation

Speaker A: Shall we tackle this project together rather than splitting it up?

Speaker B: Good idea — together, meaning the two of us working as one team.

Speaker A: Exactly. We always get more done when we work together.

Speaker B: True. It works for things too — just mix all the ingredients together.

Speaker A: Right. And there's that other sense — someone who's really together.

Speaker B: Ah yes — calm, composed, well-organised. She's so together under pressure.

Speaker A: Lovely word. What's the difference between together and with?

Speaker B: With links two things — tea with milk. Together stresses they're joined as one unit.

Speaker A: So we travelled together feels more united than we travelled with each other.

Speaker B: Exactly. And together is close to jointly too.

Speaker A: How do those differ?

Speaker B: Jointly is formal, often legal — they own it jointly. Together is warm and everyday.

Speaker A: Any common mistake?

Speaker B: Splitting it — to gether. It's always one word, together, with that gather hidden inside.
