Re: [CE-L] USAGE: alright all right

[Peter Sturgeon <prsturgeon -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

So is it alrighty, then or all righty, then?

Both "all right" and "alright" strike me as casual enough utterances
that the presence of either in formal writing should be discouraged and
the presence of either in colloquial writing should be forgiven.
