Um . . . aright is a word? Not according to the either The Concise Oxford English Dictionary or Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Edition), although The New Ofxford American Dictionary does have it listed as meaning "connected properly." Can you use it in a sentence?! |

Thanks, BJO! I like to think of myself as having a fairly extensive vocabulary, so I'm intrigued when I encounter a word I can't find in two dictionaries! ;D

Oh, Jeez, here I go again . . . alright, one word, is strictly Brit or Canadian usage only. Americans have it invariably as two words: all right. Another suggestion, anyone? Please?  |

What about Aussie spellings? Do ours work in this game? |

"Alight" To be aflame, to land, or to get out ( as from alight from a car etc.) At least this is how we use it in Australia |
