Hi Mo -
I was questioning if you'd go to "the High Street" - around here, you'd go to High Street (or maybe Main Street) to do some shopping.
Like TheBigPinkLad, I learned that alright was always all wrong - and I'm willing to accept that the dictionary accepts it now. My boss wouldn't.
And except when returning from the Folk Harbour Festival in Nova Scotia (when I tend to have trouble spelling harbor/harbour for a couple of days), my spelling and editing is strictly old-school US.
