Two little words. Or one longer word, depending on the meaning.
Every day versus everyday
As two words, they answer the question, “When?”
Correct answer: Every day.
Beverages are available every day, so this sign listing beverages is wrong. It should say every day.
“Everyday” as one word answers the question, “What kind?” Everyday low prices–that’s what kind.
Every day = “when” Everyday = “what kind”
Thanks, Todd, for making this Word Tripper so visual.
