Question for the flist-mind

[thismaz]

Dear flist,

I think, for once, this is a question directed more towards the Brits on my flist.

The word 'alright'.

Is that an acceptable spelling?

Or would you always spell it as two words?

Would you feel differently, depending on whether you were writing narrative or dialogue?

Any and all opinion welcome.

*hugs wonderful flist-mind*

Just out of curiosity, is your beta North American?

Yes, they are :) They do handwave my use of it sometimes in speech because it just sounds right that way on occasion!

*grins* There are small but very significant differences between British and American English that I find endlessly fascinating. The passion they raise, across the Atlantic, is also fun.
