I don't know what your personal opinions might be, but I believe 'alright' is not an officially accepted word. I know spellcheck accepts it, but it isn't yet part of the official English language.
'Alright' is used by many people. I, naturally, never used it. I find 'all right' to be a perfectly acceptable term for all situations.
All right, let's go. Alright, let's go.
See? I don't like the look of the second one. I play The Legend of Zelda, and I noticed that, in casual conversation, Midna, one of the main characters, says 'all right'. She never says 'alright', even though she speaks casually/sloppily all the time.
I don't think 'alright' should be a word, anyway. It's too confusing to put it in the right context. There are many cases where it isn't acceptable.
The boat tipped over, but they were all right. The boat tipped over, but they were alright.
The kids are all right. The kids are alright.
Isn't it too confusing? I don't think 'alright' should be/become a real word.
