• As far as I know, and as far as my microsoft word picks up on, Alright is how Americans spell it, and All right is the original British spelling, which they, Australians, and South Africans, still use. I may be wrong, but this is what I know. I'll have a look on Google.

• The extract, below, from a website, is not the only thing interesting that is said there about the spelling. http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/srutledg/answer2.html
  
  Two textbooks (McDougal; Littell (co. 1985) and Prentice
  Hall (co. 1987) ) explicitly state 'Alright' is not standard
  English, and therefore is to be avoided in formal writing.
  
  I received a minus rating for my answer, and don't feel I deserve it.
