Ugh, I still can't stand the word "alright". Even after all these years, I cannot accept it as a real word. It's a lazy mispelling of "all right". "All right" is always two words.
And don't go telling me that "All right" means something diffeerent from "Alright". It doesn't.
> "Are you all right?"
> "Is everything all right?"
> "You got the answers all right." (Although that's a weird construction. I'd rather say, "You got all the answers right.")
> "All right, then!" (Or "Aaaaall righty, then!")
"All right" (two words) is the only correct and appropriate wording in all three of those cases. And you'll never convince me otherwise. :P
