when you mess up or something do you say "all well" or "oh, well"??
because all well is kinda like alls well that ends well sorta thing, so theres like nothing you can do about it now. but oh well is like oh, i realize that error but thats just too bad, i guess.

sorry if that is slightly confusing.

If it is "All is well" or "All's well" it is all, if it is 'Oh well', then it is a negative tone, like "Too bad, I wanted to do that" then it will be oh. "All is/all's well" is for someone saying everything is going well in life.

Its "Oh Well" if something goes wrong or if you're disappointed (since "Oh" is a interjection expressing emotion); some people may even pronounce it "Ah well... whatever"



But you say "I hope all is well" when everything is okay





Hope this helps!

you obviously say oh, well you aren't gonna say all well when you mess something up are you?

oh well is when something goes wrong, and you can live with the result.



all well is when everything is going fine.
