Usage notes
* 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 à la "OK", whilst "all right" used in the sense of "unharmed, healthy". * The Oxford English Dictionary notes that, while analogous forms exist in words such as "already," "altogether," and "always," "the contracted form is strongly criticized in the vast majority of usage guides, but without cogent reasons.""all right, adv., adj., int., and n.". OED Online. September 2012. Oxford University Press. 4 October 2012 <[http://oed.com/view/Entry/5485]>. * The contracted term is considered nonstandard by Garner's Modern American Usage'' and ''American Heritage Dictionary . Other dictionaries consider it incorrect or less correct than (all right). Others consider it just as correct.Synonyms
