Well, if you're going to nitpick about grammar, I feel no guilt about nitpicking about claim structure. I've been trying to cut down on this sort of behavior, but. . .
"All right" is in fact two words. I can see these words being used to describe driving directions, or as an alternative for
"Alright" which is one word, and a perfectly appropriate and acceptable word.
"All Right" is two words, "alright" is one word.
I agree with a-chan.
Alright, Fight!
The kids are alright.
All right, I was Welsh.
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
'All right' is still one word, in spite of the space. It's a compound word.
No, that's not what "compound word" means.
And all-right is Not A Word.
D'A
Compound words can have spaces in them!
I'm claimin' it.
This is ridiculous.
Any English professor/teacher/book will tell you that 'alright' is not a real word but rather modern slang/jargon. 'All right' is what people usually mean when they say/write 'alright,' but the fact that the two words work in conjunction does not make them a compound.
For some reason, the idiots at Microsoft Word placed 'alright' in the Word Dictionary, along with other vernacular.
Yeah, some English teachers are idiots who don't know what the word "word" means. See also http://jyte.com/cl/english-teachers-should-stop-citing-strunk-and-white-as-authorities-on-correct-english-usage .
