Also.all right. No such word as alright.
Bothers me alot.
I caught that one!
It's surprising how many people think "alot" is a word. And according to The Elements of Style, "alright" is not correct.
The Strunk and White version of The Elements of Style was published in 1959. Language changes.
Also I have never understood the idolatry of Strunk and White, but that's a separate issue.
