It would have been great if your partner had told her that you were an atheist!

PS
Since rainmaker has already responded to that quote, I'll post this little bit of info from webster.com. Perhaps some will find it interesting.

Main Entry: al·right
Pronunciation: (")ol-'rIt, 'ol-"
Function: adverb or adjective
: ALL RIGHT
usage The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users. It is less frequent than all right but remains in common use especially in journalistic and business publications. It is quite common in fictional dialogue, and is used occasionally in other writing .


My HS English teacher refused to recognize the one-word spelling.
