FINAL DESICION ON IS ALRIGHT A WORD

[AromaniaFTW]

"Are you alright?"

[Ad Bot]

[Nonnel]

"Are you all right?"

fixed that for you

[AromaniaFTW]

your face right now amirite

[.:FancyPants:.]

i'm still right

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alright

alright is literally a word defined as "all right"
but it's still a word, just it's like a shortening of a word
we still use the word "bro" for "brother"
and "ok" for "okay"
and "ammo" for "ammunition"
and "info" for "information"
and "TV" for "television"
and "vocab" for "vocabulary"
and "legit" for "legitimate"
and "intro" for "introduction"
and "max" for "maximum"
and "app" for "application"
and holy loving stuff this can be applied everywhere

actually here's a better example:

already

That page comes to the conclusion that you should write it is two words.

Nevertheless, many people regard it as nonstandard, so it is best to avoid using alright in formal writing. Write it as two words instead:

She calls them whenever she is traveling to assure them she is all right.

[AromaniaFTW]

an online forum isn't a formal setting
it's okay to use vernacular, especially commonly accepted vernacular.
