This will be a very short entry, but a necessary one. Humans, take note. The word "alright" does not, has never, and should not pretend to exist. It is "all right." Count the words: one, two.
Similarly, the word "alot" is not real. It ALSO has two words: "a lot." You would never write "I had alittle homework tonight," so why on earth would you write "alot?"
Foolish humans who make spelling and grammar mistakes give me migraines.

But Squidmore, "alright" has been added to the dictionary, and that is how words come to be. Just like "no one" progressed to "noone" and finally to "none." It has happened. "Alright" is real now. I concede, however, that "alot" is still a vile and pitiful excuse for grammar.
