> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Two words: > > Private Messages. Yeah, that would have been a much better idea. I wish I would have thought of it but I don’t regularly use PM so it didn’t really cross my mind. I was going to be talking about ignore lists so I wanted to take it toa forum where yopu can talk about ignore lists. ---

> [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > [Yeah.](http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/all-right-versus-alright.aspx) In that link, they distinguish “all together” from “altogether” and “all ready” from “already” by whether or not they will still make sense when the words are split apart. But “alright” can’t be split up that way, which indicates that it ought to be one word, not two. They even have an example near the bottom where “all right” and “alright” have two distinct meanings. > [@](#): > > “The figures are all right.” When you use “all right” as two words, the sentence means “the figures are all accurate.” When you write “The figures are alright,” with “alright” as one word, this source explains that the sentence means “the figures are satisfactory.” The first one, you can split apart - “All the figures are right”. The second one you can’t. ---
