On a more serious note: 'alright' is considered non-standard usage, and the more 'correct' way to express that sentiment would be 'all right'.
But ... there was a time when 'tomorrow' had to be treated as a compound word (to-morrow) and 'tomorrow' would have been considered incorrect. Language changes and evolves. The dropping of the second 'l' and the merging of the two words 'all' and 'right' is a natural progression and evolution of language. It is a word if it is used by enough people as a word. Personally I have no problem with it. Alright?
