'alright' is not a part of formal US English usage but it can be a part of
English usage. But in that case it is certainly different in meaning from
the two word 'all right.'

According to the latest Gregg Reference Manual, "Like all wrong, the
expression all right should be spelled as two words. (While some
dictionaries list alright without comment, this spelling is not generally
accepted as correct.)"

I'd be interested to know if any style guides (perhaps Economist?)
endorse "alright." New York Times and AP style both adamantly shun it,
favoring "all right."
