Not that bad. 95%.

Ok, now you fine people willing to make the world speak better English, could you guys please give me a tip on ‘alright’?

Of course I know it came from ‘all right’. But what’s the deal? Why is the form ‘alright’ wrong? I thought it was actually more common than the separeted one. Does it sound/ look really that bad ?( I’m not a native speaker as well, so it sounds ok to me).

One more reason:
If I say ‘the answers were all right’ there’s no doubt. All of them were right.
But when I want to use it as a adjective?
Like in ‘It’s alright to improvise.’
And…
Can I use it as an adverb?
Like in ‘I’m doing well’ = ‘I’m doing alright’ ?
Enlighten me on that please!
Thanx

It was interesting to take this test because I saw so many of the errors I encounter on a regular basis at work. However, I know that if any of the offenders took this test, their score wouldn’t quite be indicative of their tendencies, because they’d be explicitly focusing on the right answers. When they aren’t, though, it’s a free-for-all.

Good test, nonetheless, though. I got a 90%. I know I got the “alright” one wrong, and I think I must have gotten the “embarrassing” one incorrect as well.
