The term 'conforming to' can be expressed in two ways: 'toeing' (6 letters) and 'in step with' (10 letters). Toeing means to comply with or adhere to a rule, law, or standard. It is derived from the phrase 'toe the line, ' which is an idiom meaning to conform to a set of rules or expectations. In step with means to be in agreement with or in harmony with someone or something else. It is often used to describe a situation where two people or groups are working together in a cooperative manner.
