The 'Locally Ringed' condition in the definition of a scheme.

Is the 'Locally Ringed' condition in the definition of a Scheme redundant? My question is, if it admits a cover by Affine Schemes, does it follow that the Ringed space is Locally Ringed?
More generally, if a Ringed Space $(X,mathscrO_X)$ admits a cover $U_i$ such that each $(U_i,mathscrO_X_U_i)$ is Locally Ringed, is $(X,mathscrO_X)$ itself Locally Ringed?

I think you're right.

Take any $xin X$ and fix $U_i$ such that $xin U_i$. Then the stalk of $mathcal O_X$ at $x$ is the same as the stalk of its restriction $mathscrO_X_U_i$ to $U_i$, hence it is a local ring.

I also agree. I think the literature phrases the definition as it does to highlight that a scheme is indeed a locally ringed space, which is often important. Introducing it as a ringed space for the sake of minimalism might be confusing in a larger number of cases compared to doing it this way =).

It's important that a morphism of schemes is a morphism in the category of locally ringed spaces, not in the category of ringed spaces.
