I'm sorry, but I completely forgot about the one-to-one tutorial I was supposed to have with you today . Would it be all right if I see you this Thursday ? From Oxford: Similar ‘merged’ words such as altogether and already have been accepted in standard English for a very long time, so there is no logical reason to object to the one-word form alright .

  • Write it as two separate words instead: She calls them whenever she is travelling to assure them she is all right.

But you have trouble with a lot of sentences, Alex.

This should be: 'they live in a plush area of the city'. Be aware that the word 'plush' is quite informal so if your writing needs to be more formal, I suggest substituting 'well-to-do' or 'an expensive area of the city'.
