(“alright” as one word “may be gaining a shadowy acceptance in British English.”) 
Yeah erle, but somethin' tellin' me if ever does become fully acceptable to 'em over there, those Brits will surely find a way to insert one o' those superfluous letter u's in the thing!!!
"Alright" has been in use over here for YEARS
As for the "U", I can imagine Dick van Dyke saying "Alriought, Mary Poppins", but no-one else

 "Riought ya are, Guv'na!"

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
