Is that alright ?
I was wondering what the difference between alright and all right was.
Thank you very much

Great question! "Alright" is synonymous with "Okay." "The soup was alright" (Meaning it was okay). Or "Do you want to go out?" "Alright!" (Meaning, sure! Or Okay!) It can mean affirmative or qualitative. "All right" means pretty much the same thing, and technically, I guess, is the formal version. However, in actual usage, "all right" is more like a state of being, if I were to describe it...and I don't know that I'm describing it well. Maybe others can add their two cents. Like "How's your mother?" "She's all right, thanks for asking!" (kinda like "all good") or something like that. Does that help or have I muddled it further?

It is basically the same word, alright is a merged all right, even though it is widely accepted way of writing, I suggest you use all right, because alright is not officially accepted in dictionaries. When writing formally always use all right.

I can help! They technically mean the same thing.
all right is more formal, and alright is quicker, and less formal. You would want to use "all right" when writing an important letter. but alright is pretty much common place in conversational text.
