Talk:Allround

"Allround" is not a word in the English language
"Allround" is NOT a word in the English language, so never attempt to use it. That is clearly a mistranslation of some word from another language. The English phrase is all around - or sometimes hyphenated as "all-around". An example of this usage is "Mr. Jones is the best all around player on the entire football team." Another example is "The winner of the decathlon is considered to be the best all around athlete in the Summer Olympic Games." For an example outside of sports, we could have, "Colonel Schmidt is the best all around officer in the Air Force because besides his excellent leadership qualities, he is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and he has his master's degree in aerospace engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For more of his all around achievements, Col. Schmidt is also a graduate of the Naval War College of the Navy as well as the Air War College of the Air Force. Once again, the phrase is "all around". 98.67.106.59 (talk) 03:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
