I bet there is some respected source that says it's okay to use either, as long as you are consistent in how you use them.
For myself, I cringe just a little bit every time I use 'who' when I know 'whom' is correct. But sometimes (even outside dialogue) I know it would take the reader completely out of the flow to hear perfect grammar, so I make allowances. (Though I confess, I think this is the only exception I make. It *always* makes me cringe to read 'lie' when it should be 'lay' or vice versa.)
ANYWAY -- especially in dialogue, I think it's okay to use gonna, and it's okay alright to use alright.
