Question for the flist-mind

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*

North/South probably does play a part, now you mention it. That does make a huge difference in many things to do with language, beyond the obvious dialectic ones.

I speculated to Llama that we might be losing it, under American influence, while they are gaining it *g* Which would be funny.

I am going to keep thinking alright, but I might start considering how I spell it, more, in future.
