| Re: Meaning and Usage in toto. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002 in toto means, totally, completely, so yes, I would agree that it fits the context you have, but I am not sure whether it's a phrase you would want to use: you had to ask what it meant, which means your readers might have to do they same. |

| Re: Meaning and Usage Even for readers who know what in toto means, I wouldn't combine it so closely with the metaphorical "shouldered." Just my opinion, of course. [native speaker & writer, not a teacher] |
