Grammar Clinic: The REAL difference between EVERYDAY and EVERY DAY

‘Everyday’ and ‘Every day’ are two different words that are often confused and used interchangeably, however, they are different from each other and have different implications.

Everyday as a single word is an adjective (a descriptor) — it means ordinary or commonplace. Every day — two separate words — means “each day.”

Examples

Here are some examples for using every day and everyday correctly:

  • It is important to brush your teeth every day.
  • Joke didn’t take very good care of his everyday clothes but his church clothes for Sunday were always dry-cleaned.
  • In everyday use, people tend to say “weight” when they really mean “mass.”
  • I believe it’s more important to be kind in our everyday actions than to pray every day.
