Foiled Again

Alright, alright, I take it back, technology is eating my soul.
(By the way, what is the general consensus on "alright"? Is it a word?)

Dictionary dot com at http://dictionary.reference.com/search?
q=alright&x=0&y=0
states in a Usage Note (an Usage Note? No, nevermind...) that "The form ALRIGHT as a one-word spelling of the phrase ALL RIGHT in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although ALRIGHT is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, ALL RIGHT is used in more formal, edited writing."
