    Someone good with English grammar please enlighten me: is it more grammatical to say "the boys are not alright" or "the boys are not all right"?

      "all right" is more formal and common but "alright" is also perfectly acceptable providing the person using it is using it intentionally. It's a judgment call. In the way you are using, "alright," "alright" is definitely the choice I'd make. It's informal and fits the sentiment of your sentence.

        ♥️ the video.

        He refuses to kiss the princess because or ostensibly because he doesn't have consent. That's great!

        This reminds me that for the human species, it's the females, not the males, who standout for rare beauty and for extraordinary presentation, generally.

        The WWI era, for instance, had "great beauties."

        There are still "great beauties" even though this term is anachronistic.

        Elizabeth Taylor was a great beauty.

        Diana, Princess of Wales was one.

        I've always said that handsome men and pretty boys (a term of art meant to describe only males over the age of consent, to be clear) are a dime a dozen.
