Learning Time Gentlemen- “Alright” versus “all right”

Apparently Men are not as smart as Women.  At least that's what Colleen and everyone else thinks!  I still don't believe them.  So I am going to attempt to bring some knowledge to the Men of XL Nation.

Today we are going to learn the difference between “Alright” versus “all right” I know this might be easy for all the English majors out there, like my awesome sister-in-law!  Between my wife and sister-in-law I have the grammar police breathing down my neck.

VOTE HERE if you think men are smarter!

“Alright” means okay

“All right” means everything is correct

Right: He’s feeling alright after drinking too much.

Wrong: He’s feeling all right after not drinking enough.

Right: He was pulled over by the police and he got the questions all right.

Wrong: His wife was mad he went out drinking but he got the questions alright.

Right: Alright, let’s get to work on this keg.

Wrong: All right, let’s get to work on this house.

Right: The directions you gave were all right. (In this instance it means they were all correct)

Wrong: The directions you gave were alright. (In this instance, it means they were okay, or satisfactory)

Now we are learning!
