Okay, I admit this one may be a little picky. Traditionalists (like me) claim that "alright" is nonstandard usage. But it's become accepted by many because it's used so often. Come on, people. Stop altering the language.
In the purest sense, it should always be used as two words: "all right"
I guess the single-word version has slipped into the lexicon because of words such as "altogether" and "already," which are standard uses, not to be confused with "all together" and "all ready."
So please help me in my quest to bring some dignity back to the language and stop using the one-word version, alright? Oops. I mean "all right."
Thank you for your support.
