Stickler's P.O.V. of Everyday Vs. Every Day
Everyday vs. Every Day
Sorry, just have to remind you.
Every day = every day. (two words) This is an adverb clause, in this case, describes when something happens. "Every day it seems to be getting hotter."
everyday = everyday. (one word) This is an adjective (describes a thing). "I'll just wear my everyday clothes today." Or how about," I'll wear my everyday clothes every day." I will wear my worn out, old or not my dress-up clothes every day, as in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
They are not the same. I know, being a stickler may be annoying if you're not one. From my point of view (and I suspect from that of other sticklers), seeing this very preventable misuse of language is annoying. Those of you who "just don't care?" Well, that's your choice and your privilege. I love you anyway. But just in CASE you care about language and communication and doing your best always and can stand to be corrected without fussing and fuming, be advised. These are two different things and they have two different spellings.
I am by no means an English scholar. You will probably see me get things wrong EVERY DAY, but at least I will try to get it right. Can we agree on that? Now I will go back to my EVERYDAY routine :)
Get in, get out, go home. It's too hot out there...
