Grammar
Can "Total" be used for sth that is not amount?
"Net sales of the total gaming industry" in a certain country..
Here the total gambling industry means all the gambling sectors such as casino, racing and etc..
Do I have to change the total to "the overall gaming industry" or "the whole gaming industry" - here I though "whole" sounded a little unprofessional..
Thank you..
