I have to agree with this, based on what I know. From what I've heard, 'alright' only became part of the dictionary through common usage. It was originally "all right", but people started shortening it. However, common usage does define our dictionary, so, unless it's formal writing, it's probably more down to the author's choice as to which to use.
