Everyday Exasperation

June 15, 2015 by Barbara McNichol Leave a Comment

by Todd Hunt from Hunt’s Headlines

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.every day sign 1

 

 

every day sign2Beverages 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 sign 3Every day = “when”   Everyday = “what kind”

Thanks, Todd, for making this Word Tripper so visual.
