Evidently, I don't think that by any means. I had to stand up against stupid replies, and I did.

By the way, it's "Alright". All right doesn't make sense. I'd be concerned as to whatever law school you may have gotten into. You must have had great El Sat scores.

it's LSAT if that's all right with you.

Usage Discussion of ALRIGHT

The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users. It is less frequent than all right but remains in common use especially in journalistic and business publications. It is quite common in fictional dialogue, and is used occasionally in other writing <the first two years of medical school were alright — Gertrude Stein>.

I'll start cooking some crow for our OP, if that's "all right" with everyone ;)

No, it's really ElSat. I looked it up. It's pronounced that way, so it's the same thing.

Main Entry: LSAT
Pronunciation: "el-"es-"A-'tE, 'el-"sat
Function: abbreviation

LOL ok, probie!

Did you ever miss the point..!

I wasn't ever being serious about that.

Thanks for "all" the replies.

I'm a bit worried about the elementary school you went to!

Enough with the semantics. "Alright' is obviously the more common spelling, and it's well accepted. "All right" can be used too, as "all" and "right" are proper, standalone words. It still looks goofy. Should just start using "for naught", instead of "for nothing". I've had these arguments before, someone uses an archaic way of phrasing trying to sound smarter than you. Then, gets mad when that is pointed out. You'd have to read Shakesperean-era prose to find your version in common usage.


al·right

–adverb
all right.
Use alright in a Sentence
See images of alright
Search alright on the Web
—Can be confused:  all right, alright (see usage note at the current entry ).

—Usage note
The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.

Writing on a message board is not quite the same as writing on behalf of Buckingham Palace.

And yet, you're still gracing us with your presence!

How 'bout that!

to be honest, I usually use alright more than I do all right but the thing is; I don't chastise others for using one form or the other as they are both legitimate and proper terms.

No, jk, you're not getting it.

He really, truly thought that the only proper usage was "alright" and since he didn't get the answer he wanted, he decided to make himself look like a big shot by correcting someone else.

Then he found out that he was wrong and had been wrong in public on the internet for all the world to see.

So now he's backpedaling.
