Actually, I think alright has become an acceptable spelling nowadays in
more places. But I think it's still considered 'incorrect'. Hmm...
"Is there an English PhD on the list?"
I'm still working on my degree. But:

Generally considered 'informal' writing, and not advisable for 'edited
works'. Draw your own conclusions; though I'm personally inclined to
say that it's fine as-is, especially since it's in dialogue, which
naturally grants a degree of latitude.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed. "Tell me,"
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
