Can you (plural) point me to any English dictionary that considers
"alright" (which I mentally pronounce "Al Wright" :-) ) to be a
standard spelling in any context whatever? I have always used "all
right" to mean that something is okay (as well as to mean that the
entirety of something is correct). I didn't realise that it had yet
undergone a transformation parallel to "all ready" => "already" or
"all days" => "always".
