[T]he movie was just not very interesting. Whether it was true to the
source material or not, it was just aight. Nothing new there.
I've been hearing this in speech, occasionally, for twenty-five years, but
I've never seen it in print  till now.  Lots in N.

2002 _Winston-Salem Journal_ (Jan. 7) D-3 [N]: I'll holla at ya, aight?

2003 _Albuquerque Tribune_ (July 5) (Comics) unp. [N]: Black English
Month...A'ight. I'm down.
