I personally have always preferred "all right" to "alright" but AFAIK either
is acceptable to modern usage.

I'll get back to you with a real responce in a bit, but first, FYI.

In Merriam Webster's Colegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, it states, and I
quote:

al-right\ adv or adj (1887): All right
USAGE: The one-word spelling ALRIGHT appeared some 75 years after ALL

RIGHT

itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th
century some critics have insisted ALRIGHT is wrong, but it has its
defenders and its users. It is a less frequent than ALL RIGHT but remains

in

common usage esp. in journalistic and business publications. It is quite
common in fictional dialogue, and is used in occas. in other writing <the
first two years of medical school were ALRIGHT--Gertrude Stein>

Well, there you have it. Sorry to be a pain. ^_^

Still working,
