I understand that they wanted to have the font the same size, top to bottom, but I'll agree it's in poor taste. What example are you setting by allowing such a simple thing to slip by? Ava
I looked this up on BobDylan.com, and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" has it as two words, while "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" has it as one, the way I wrote it in this posting. Dictionary.com has a listing for "alright." I think this is one of those words that has become accepted over time. I would never use it in formal writing, but I think it's OK for the blogosphere.

That should be "if" not "is."
ReplyDeleteI could maybe understand it is the font size were all exactly the same, but "Dylan" is a different length anyway!
ReplyDelete"Alright" is not a word. Should be "all right."

ReplyDeleteUm, alright is not standard English. It's all right. Copy editors are such nags, aren't they?
