Is 'Alright' All Right?

In casual writing, "alright" is OK. But in professional publishing, the rules are clear: use "all right."

    I am a former college and high school classroom English teacher and now high school and college critical reading and writing tutor and I know and have used so many grammar programs (Easy Grammar with its emphasis on first expunging prep phrases to more easily discern the parts of the sentence is one of my favorites; I like Diane King for a clear basic program as I work with LD students; I like Kahn Academy for its having a teacher with a white board; I like many others as well). None do I LOVE because they are a bit clumsy to use and, though being systematic, structured and exhaustive (as are many of the programs named)is ideal, my students do not/cannot buy into a hundred lessons. Do you have ideas (including your own work of course)for what might constitute an 8-10 lesson program on the most important elements of grammar and (especially) syntax with an audio visual component that would be both systematic and somewhat FUN. Thank you so much. I have ordered your books but, again, I want something short and sweet to use as a "Summer Writing Workshop."

    I believe I should have put my comments above into this space. Oh well, hope you might take a moment to respond. I have just watched some of your podcasts and appreciate your direct and honest voice :>)
