Indiscriminate Use Of 'everyday' In Communication Should Be Stopped! by facenglish: 7:40am On Apr 09, 2018
Have a look at the following examples:

1. I go to work everyday (incorrect)
I go to work every day (correct)

2. Must I wear every day outfit to the
wedding (incorrect)
Must I wear everyday outfit to the
wedding (correct)

What Is the difference?

'Everyday' and 'everyday' are commonly cofused words in English. You can't know the difference in spoken English but the difference is clear in written English.

'Everyday' is an adjective that means ordinary, usual, or happening every day while 'Every day' means 'each day'.

More examples:

3.The internet has become part of everyday life.

4.I share my everyday moment with my audience.

5.Every day is my happy day.
