← Back to context Comment by jherdman 16 years ago Yes, you're right, but "albeit" is the word you're looking for, not "all be it". 3 comments jherdman Reply mjgoins 16 years ago http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=albeit&oldid=... jherdman 16 years ago Interesting, but dictionary.com and m-w.com claim that it's a contraction of "al(though) be it". * http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/albeit * http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/albeit gruseom 16 years ago It's a mandatory contraction. You can't correctly write "all be it", just like you can't correctly write "where as".
