Of course it was alright.

He'd better make sure that his spell-checker is all right. Perhaps a graduate of the Associated Press?

In proper English, alright is a common and correct contraction.

If you're going to be a spelling cop, at least have a clue.

[MindBender26]

"alright" is a very common "British" word, much like "Ok" here.

Remember, on a bugger day, a Brit might put on his waistcoat, alight in his motorcar after he checked under the bonnet, drive down the motorway, or even the dual carriageway to shop at the ironmonger.... instead of putting on a vest on a cold day hopping in the car after checking under the hood, then driving down the road or even espressway to the hardware store.

Amusingly, enough, back in the stone age when I was in grade school, there were THREE acceptable ways of spelling it:
alright
allright (one word)
all right (two words).

times change, but I surely wasn't taken aback by his spelling, but was rather pleased.
