'Alright' and 'Alot' are not all Right

Just think of the number of times you have used the words 'alright' and 'alot' in essays/articles right from your school days till now.

Now what if I were to tell you that there is no such word as 'alot' in the English language and 'alright', though recognized by some dictionaries of late, is also almost always considered incorrect.

The correct words are:

• 'a lot' and not 'alot'
  
  
• 'all right' and not 'alright'
  
  

Unlikely that the GMAT will test these errors on Sentence Correction but do keep these in mind while typing your essays in the AWA section.
