Formal:
* "I agree with everything you said. Ditto." (This means "I agree completely.")
* "The instructions for this recipe are the same as the last one, ditto." (This means "The instructions are identical.")
Informal:
* "He ordered pizza, and I said, 'Ditto!'" (This means "I want pizza too.")
* "Did you get the memo about the meeting? Ditto!" (This means "I got the memo too.")
Note: "Ditto" is often used in writing to avoid repeating the same words or phrases. It can be used in lists, tables, or any time you want to indicate something is the same as what was just mentioned.
For example:
| Item | Color | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Shirt | Blue | $20 |
| Pants | Blue | $30 |
| Shoes | Blue | Ditto |
In this table, "Ditto" indicates that the shoes are also blue, just like the shirt and pants.
