Joe_F BS: Language Pet Peeves (2488* d) RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves 06 May 20


leeneia: "Alright" has been made into a mark of illiteracy, but this IMO is one case where the illiterates have the better of the argument. Just as "already" is not the same as "all ready", so "they were alright" (they were acceptable) is not the same as "they were all right" (all of them were right). Note the difference in pronunciation.
