“Alright” is still controversial, but Gertrude Stein claims it is okay – http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alright – so I'm keeping it there.

Peter,
Nice reviews. A spelling quibble from Dad: There are two 2-word combinations that give people trouble. All + Ready = Already. All + Right = All Right, not Alright. I told you it was a quibble.

However, I really, really like your sentence that used this, “..the children cannot drown: the kids are fish, and therefore the kids are all right.”

“The kids are fish, and therefore the kids are alright.” Awesome, and a really nice essay/book review.
