Er, may I intercede? I tend to use 'alright' as well, for dialog and informal narration, and in fact it seems to me to have a slightly different meaning than "all right". I know it's valid in American English, at least, which is what I generally speak (okay, peppered with bubblehead slang and Spanish and Newspeak and Shakespearean English, but does that really count, really?) but I've been careful to keep it out of drafts and discussions which you read. So I'm glad I can go back to my usual vocabulary~
