Alright is not All Right

A pet peeve of mine, rather trivial I might say, is the use of the word "alright."

This is NOT a word.

It is a corruption of the two word phrase, "all right."

It should never be confused with "already" or "all ready."

I had English teachers who would routinely circle the word "alright" and correct it for me.

Those of you who use it should remember that "alright" is not a word, but a colloquialism.

My rant on this ends here.

Thank you.

You, good sir, are wrong about it not being an official word. Proof? Oh, it's right there.
