I had an English teacher who hated for anyone to write "alright", insisting that there was no such word, and it should be "all right" but now I see that alright is in the dictionary. Sometimes grammar changes because of common usage. I still write it as two words, because that's the way I was taught, and that English teacher might still be around to see it.
