Wednesday Words: Everyday and Every Day

Wednesday Words: Everyday and Every Day

I highlight words on Wednesdays that are often misused and confused by writers everywhere. English is a tough language, so Wednesdays are my day to focus on just a pair or triplet to make the words stand out from a crowd.

Nearly every day, I see writers who confuse "everyday" and "every day." Here's a picture that you can save; perhaps it will help in the future.聽

Wednesday Words Everyday vs. Every Day Would you write everyminute if you meant each minute? Would you write everyweek if you meant each week? week? Would you write everyyear if you meant each year” year? No? Then why do you write everyday when you mean each day? Everyday (adj.) = ordinary (Work is an everyday event.) Every day (phrase) = each day (We go to work every day.) Grammar Goddess Communication Look Smart. Sound Smart. www GrammarGoddess. comDoes this help? If so, please let me know, so I can continue finding ways to help writers look and sound as smart as they are.

I hope you find it relevant and will share it with your connections. Let's work together to help all writers master this tough language!
