Sometimes I saw people writing this word "all right".
Can you explain me which one is the commonly used and why do you have both of them?

Hi,

More and more 'alright' is being accepted except for the purists who prefer 'all right' and in this instance I must admit to being one. It is following the same pattern of always (all ways) and aleady (all ready).
