What I dislike is how commonly used spellings are being made fun of. I can understand "turrent", but I can't understand "alot" or "alright".

“A_lot” is definitely incorrect, in that it’s not in any official dictionary I’m aware of. “Al_right” does have a dictionary entry, as a variant (casual, non-standard) spelling. My vote would be to go with the dictionaries on this one, since in my view such humiliation tactics should be reserved for particularly egregious errors and not those that are somewhat debatable.

Ugh, agreed.  This whole stupid mix-up thing has made me so mad.

I think it's safe to say that this has been considered a bad move.

The single word version is a widely used colloquialism. For instance. While you can argue that it is incorrect in formal writing, it's ridiculous to ban it in an informal one.
