Usage Notes
Do You Read 'Aloud' or 'Out Loud'?
Out loud may sound unpolished, but it's a finesubstitute for aloud
What to Know
Aloud and out loud are both fully established phrases
and can often be used interchangeably,
although "aloud"is much older.
"Out loud"is actually the preferred term for phrases
such as "for crying out loud" and "laughing out loud."
For a long time,
writers were told to avoidthe phrase out loud.
It was an error, they were told, for the firmly-established aloud,
which has been a word in English since the 13th century.
In contrast, out loud was a relative newcomer:
it only dates back to the beginning of the 19th century.
Lord Andover in the presence of Lord and Lady Suffolk
and speaking out loud said
"Miss Dutton ... be so good to walk with me into the library."
—Maria Edgeworth, letter, 1821
Even if out loud was a word,
language commenters commented,it was a colloquialism
—an informal or conversational word you might use with your friends,
but should avoid in formal writing.
Yes, the word 'aloud' is several hundred years older than 'out loud'. However, 'out loud' is fully established. It may not appear as oftenas 'aloud' in solemn writing, but the two terms areessentially interchangeable.
Out Loud vs. Aloud
Usage today,however, shows clearly that
out loud is not a colloquialism
and that—although we would agree
that aloud is more likely used in solemn writing
—in general, the two terms are essentially interchangeable.
For many of us,
one of the most vivid memories from childhood is
listening to Mom reading a book out loud or telling a story.
— William Porter, The Denver Post, 10 May 2015
In fact, the whole notion of retirement itself feels vaguely shameful.
In my circles, the R-word is rarely spoken out loud.
— Mary Hogan, The Saturday Evening Post, January/February 2015
The poem should be read aloud
to allow its incantatory power to reveal itself.
— Damian Lanigan, The New Republic, September/October 2015
After all,
the sewage experiments indicate
there are electrically active bacteria in the gut. He wonders aloud:
Do they communicate with human cells as part of the body's internal ecosystem?
— Corey S. Powell, Popular Science, February 2015
Where Out Loud is Preferred
There are even some cases in which out loud is the preferred term.
A distinctiveand exclusive use of out loud
is in the idiom for crying out loud.
Most sources explain the expression
as the result of
finessing one's way out of saying the inappropriate
just as it's practically out: "For Chri—ying out loud!"
It's just a big old sack of dog food, for crying out loud,
but Charles Fishman can hardly restrain himself:
"Fifty pounds for $13.82! That's amazing!"
— Bob Thompson, The Washington Post, 13 Apr. 2006
Out loud also one-ups aloud as the preferred word following the verb laugh.
And the first time I heard an audience laugh out loud at me I was done, I was sold.
—Liev Schreiber, speaking on NPR, 8 July 2013
However, don't be surprised
if you spy aloud in company with laugh.
For instance, in Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach,
James "had never heard Aunt Sponge or Aunt Spiker laughing aloud in all the time he had been with them."
Such occurrences show that using aloud or out loud is entirely a writer's choice.
That choice might hinge on the toneof the writing
—whether it's formal or colloquial
—or it might involve something deeper.
Perhaps the writer sees aloud as being the only choice
because of its long-standing establishment in the language
and sees out loud as a newcomeryet to prove its mettle.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Aloud& allowed
Aloud is an adverb
meaning “out loud” or “audibly” (as in “said the words aloud”).
Allowed is the past tense and past participle form of the verb allow
(“she was allowed to leave early”).
These words are not frequently confused.
Dictionary of Problem Words in English
aloud & out loud
Each of these expressions means “audibly,” “in a loud tone.”
Both are correct, but aloud is considered less colloquial
and is also preferable because it is shorter.
