Well, this is news to me. Every time I ever used it, someone griped me out
about it. Sometimes it was an English teacher, sometimes it was an editor. I
stand by my advice--don't use it.
 
Don.

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,
AJ Andreason
