Of course! You'd be surprised what makes it into the dictionary these days!
After all, language is just a set of noises that people come to attribute 'meaning' after a certain amount of time....
So is the word -ALREADY- proper English? It has been in dictionaries for a very, very long time, and in the English language for centuries. e.g. in the King James Bible, published in 1611, it says in Exodus Chapter 1 verse 5 that "Joseph was in Egypt already."
Language is a living thing; language changes and evolves with use and time. How many people still speak English as Shakespeare wrote it? Some words fall out of use, some are made obsolete by time; new words are added and new uses for words are fashioned. What would Shakespeare make of "I'll text my mother that I'm here doing homework on the internet."
ALREADY is certainly a proper word. ALREADY is a adverb, modifying a verb as before or by now, or the time in question. Examples:
He already knew that I'd be late.
We have eaten lunch already.
The baby is tired already, we should go.
