Learn English – Difference between “alright” and “all right”

confusableword-choice

Is there any difference between "alright" and "all right"?

I can find both forms in different articles (especially on the Internet), although all right seems to be more common.

I was wondering if both forms are acceptable or whether it is some sort of difference between American and British English or just a common mistake?

I checked four dictionaries and they all agreed that "alright" is an informal equivalent of "all right." However, informal doesn't mean wrong; it merely means informal. Thus, "alright" is perfectly acceptable in informal contexts.
