two more questions on 'all right'

all right
LDCE gives the following sample sentences
and says they are BrE.
1. "The new boss isn't too bad, is she?"
"No, she's all right."
2. "How are you, John?"
"Oh, all right - can't complain."
Not used in the US?
Thank you.

Anonymous, are you going to end up copying your entire textbook here and asking us to verify the information in it? If you don't trust your textbook at all you must be having a few problems...can you discuss this with your tutor?

In this particular case it seems that Anon. has reason to question his text -- I would say that both of the examples given are fine in American English.

My tutor is LDCE (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English). It says they are BrE, but no mention of the American equivalent at least in the same place. I'm just qurious what the American equivalent is. Do you think I should ask Longman?

Oh don't mind me, I was just grouchy yesterday!

But you are here a lot picking our brains anonymous....why don't you register and join in with our forum community properly? It's much nicer to help out someone we feel we know than a bunch of faceless anonymous bods.
