Alright is alternative for Allright

Alright means all is in line.
While
"All is right" is a waste of time.

"Today, I want go over the differences between these words"

You would find this is also incorrect. Differences = Quarrel

Today, I want to go over the difference between these words...Correct

[quote author=baylord101 post=55163328][/quote]I'll think about it

Hello Nairalanders Today we will be looking at the difference between Alright and All Right.


The use of alright (one word) and all right (two words) is one that confuses many writers, especially young writers who may not even be aware of the debate behind the two forms.



It is easy, however, to mistake the two for one another. After all, when you say them verbally, there’s no telling them a part. They sound identical in speech, but which option should be used in written communications? Or can they both be used?



Today, I want go over the differences between these words, talk about their histories, and give you a few tricks to remember which is which for the future. After reading this post, you shouldn’t ever mix up alright vs. all right again.

When to use Alright.
"It's not all Right to use Alright."


Alright is the non-standard variant of the two-word all right . It is widely considered incorrect and is best to avoid in your writing, especially any type of formal writing. E.g



*The show we went to last night was alright. (Incorrect)
*I felt alright after I left the restaurant. (Incorrect)


When to Use All Right.
"All Right as two words is correct."


All Right, as two words, is a phrase that can function as both an adjective and an adverb. All right has a few different meanings: in proper or satisfactory condition; acceptable, allowable; in a satisfactory way; adequately . For example,


*The mechanic looked at the brakes to see if they were all right. (Adjective)
*If school is cancelled today, that is all right by me. (Adjective)
*I did all right, considering all the pressure. (Adverb)


Anytime you are looking to use all right , it should appear as two separate words. As I mentioned above, the single-word alright is generally considered an error and your instructor or editor will probably strike it out.

In order to avoid any unnecessary mistakes, it’s best to just remember that, in this case, two words is the answer.


Remember the Difference


Alright is not all right .



The above sentence is a good memory tool to remember which option to use in your writing.

Alright is considered as a spelling error and should be avoided. Thank You!

They are both correctThey are both correctThey are both correct

Some distinguish between "alright" and "all right" by using "alright" to mean "fine, good, okay" and "all right" to mean "all correct". Alternatively (or in addition to the previous), "Alright" may be used as an interjection akin to "OK", whilst "all right" is used in the sense of "unharmed, healthy".

you wouldn't write

'already' as 'all ready'

'always' as 'all ways'

because the inference will change : these guys should score a goal already / the players for the game are all ready.

always, i will be with you in all ways!

we came out from the wreckage alright / his answers to the quiz were all right!

op don't worry, i know you saw/copied it from somewhere, but you have to understand that the english language is a bit complicated as it is a fusion language!

Thanks to our nigerian Abbrv, Ait can serve for both.

That na your opinion man. When I did my masters, a professor of Criminology often spoke that way and he's German-American.

larryTall97:

No, They have different meaning. Already is an adverb. It means either (1)
by a specified time, or (2) so soon. The
two-word phrase "all ready" means
completely prepared, or it’s used to
indicate that everyone in a group is
prepared.

Is it acceptable to write alright as one word, rather than two separate ones? For example:
She calls them whenever she is travelling to assure them she is alright.
Similar ‘merged ’ words such as altogether and
already have been accepted in standard English for a very long time, so there is no logical reason to object to the one-word form alright .
Nevertheless, many people dislike it and regard it as incorrect, so it’s best to avoid using alright in formal writing. Write it as two separate words instead:
She calls them whenever she is travelling to assure them she is all right.

Nice one bro

Many dictionaries describe the word ALRIGHT as a variants of the word ALL RIGHT which some people consider it to be incorrect. Some dictionaries equally describe it as INFORMAL word. I think it will be appropriate to say that the word ALRIGHT is informal while ALL RIGHT is formal rather than telling people that ALRIGHT is a wrong word in English.

You are absolutely right. Just to add to it, Many dictionaries describe the word ALRIGHT as a variants of the word ALL RIGHT which some people consider it to be incorrect. Some dictionaries equally describe it as INFORMAL word. I think it will be appropriate to say that the word ALRIGHT is informal while ALL RIGHT is formal rather than telling people that ALRIGHT is a wrong word in English.
