All right / Alright

1) All right

Alright as too words is all right

This means that it is accepted as standard english and it is correctly used

هي كلمة بمعنى حسن جدا و أحيانا تستعمل بمعنى نعم

و إستعمالها على هذا الشكل أي في كلمتين منفصلتين (all right) صحيح

Example: The anwers are all right

This means that all of them are correct or that they are satisfactory on the whole
-----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Alright

This means that it is not accepted as standard english

هي أيضا تعني حسن جدا أو نعم

و لكن إستعمالها خاطئ في اللغة الانجليزية الصحيحة لأنها كلمة عامية
