Adjective

 * 1) Good; in acceptable, if not excellent condition.
 * 2) In good health, unharmed.
 * 1) In good health, unharmed.

Usage notes
The comparative form "more all right" is used, but rarely. An example would be where another speaker had used the phrase "all right" and repeating it and extending it enhanced the continuity of the conversation. ''I didn't feel all right earlier today, so I took a power-nap. Now I feel even more all right than I normally do.''

Derived terms

 * it'll be all right on the night
 * you're all right

Usage notes

 * He answered the questions quickly, and he got them all right.
 * The inflection and emphasis may vary depending upon what meaning is intended (compare the two US audio pronunciations).
 * The spelling alright (by analogy with "already", "altogether", etc) is nonstandard but in widespread use (as of 29 May 2012, having 209,000,000 hits on Google in comparison to 320,000,000 for "all right", although some of the hits for "all right" will be in the sense of "all correct" described in the note above).
