Hell's Half Acre

Now, I'm no grammar nazi, you can tell by the fact that I typed "I'm no grammar nazi". Nope actually I regret typing that. Anyway, I realize that "alright" is not technically recognized as a real word everywhere, but growing up (I'm still rather young) I have never been corrected on the usage of "alright" in fact I did not even realize it was not considered a "real" word until a few years ago! I feel odd reading "all right" in a sentence as my brain interprets them differently I realize there would be a comma somewhere if this were the case but I feel like a sentence such as "They were all right" could mean that all of them were correct versus "They were alright" which meant they were okay. I feel the usage of this word is common enough without any kind of juvenile negative connotation (like YOLO or LOL I felt disgusting just typing that) to be used when writing. Although not exactly this problem keeps me up at night little problems that make no difference on other persons daily life but feel iffy to me keep me up at night. Also Microsoft Word never corrects me so I feel no guilt over this. (I do feel irritated when it corrects me on the spelling of colour). This was a long comment and I apologize on my atrocious grammar and punctuation.
