The kids are uptight

Here's a language column from James Kilpatrick breaking down all right vs. alright and awhile vs. a while.

I'll point out before you do that the "Pigs Are Alright" head he blasts is probably a play off The Who's album "The Kids Are Alright." Does that make the alright spelling all right? Depends on how strong the allusion is. But it's certainly worth mentioning.
