It's because of the < brackets used by Merriam-Webster...
But GOOD TO KNOW. Thanks. Oxford says to avoid "alright" simply because people don't like it, even though it's just like "altogether" and "already". I guess it just suffers from being new.
It's definitely nice to see that it's "quite common in fictional dialogue" which is always when I want to use it the most.
