According to the latest Gregg Reference Manual, "Like all wrong, the

dictionaries list alright without comment, this spelling is not generally
accepted as correct.)"

I'd be interested to know if any style guides (perhaps Economist?)
endorse "alright." New York Times and AP style both adamantly shun it,
favoring "all right."
