Alright vs. All right

Have you ever thought about the differences between 'alright' and 'all right'? Let us see what we can get out of them.

"Alright" vs. "All Right" in the English Grammar

What Is Their Main Difference?

Both 'all right' and 'alright' refer to something satisfactory. However, 'all right' is more common in written, formal English whereas, 'alright' is mainly used in spoken, informal English.
'Alright' is another spelling of 'all right' that some people think is incorrect.

Differences

As stated above, their only difference is that 'alright' is informal and people use it in their daily conversations whereas, 'all right' is the written, formal form. Look at the following examples:

The professors agree that your presentation was all right.

A : Mike, I said clean your room right now.

B : Alright, I will!

Similarities

As mentioned above, both have nearly the same dictations and they share the same meaning. Check out the following examples:

The class did all right in the poetry contest.

A : Didn't she tell you to finish your homework?

B : Alright Hanna!

Are They Interchangeable?

Since they are the same, we can use them interchangeably. However, it is better not to change them in an academic, formal context. Compare:

✓ Will you be all right when I'm gone?

✓ Will you be alright when I'm gone?

As you can see, they are both the same.
