Every Day vs. Everyday

I see this all the time. Please note, world, that everyday  is not the same as every day . They mean different things. Memorize the following from Grammarist.com: Everyday vs. every day Everyday  is an  adjective  used to describe things that (1) occur every day, or (2) are ordinary or commonplace. In the two-word phrase  every day , the adjective  every  modifies the  noun  day , and the phrase usually functions adverbially. For example, every day you eat breakfast. You brush your teeth every day. Maybe you go for a walk every day. These are everyday activities. When you’re not sure which one to use, try replacing  everyday / every day  with  each day . If  each day  would make sense in its place, then you want the two-word form.  Everyday , meanwhile, is synonymous with  daily  or  ordinary , depending on its sense.
