There is no such word as "eachother"...

[niadainud]

...or "inbetween", "alot", "ofcourse", "infront" or "thankyou" (or "ect").

I'm probably BVU and I realise this is a forum not a dissertation, that some people are dyslexic and others didn't have the benefit of a good education, that language evolves and that "today" used to be two words and that this isn't Pedants' Corner.

But it's very annoying nonetheless (which is a word).

Sometimes it's auto correct etc. Unless you need to put it into Google translate, or have really low reading comprehension, it shouldn't matter. Even audio apps read it ok (my DD uses them).

Thanks. Miss.

Do you know what a dissertation is?

because that doesn’t really make sense in that context

What (or who) defines what "matters" when it comes to language? I culd write a post thats fullof errorrs and non of it reely "matters" but it makes it less eezy to reed.

Have a gold star. Or a thread full of people vomiting and teeth itching at 'chester draws' 'would of' blah blah blah.

It does make sense in that people using the words are not being marked, graded, assessed and a qualification doesn't depend on them getting these words right at all times.

Yes, I mentioned that in my OP.

Yes, I know what a dissertation is. It's an extended piece of academic writing in which accuracy is more important than an internet chat forum because a) you are more likely to be expressing complex ideas which require clarity and b) you are being marked on what you have written.

so explain your use of it in your OP and really does not make sense

Incase
Abit

Always using everyday instead of every day

Does it really though?

I could understand what you've written here perfectly well. Maybe I'm lucky to have fast processing but it took me a matter of a couple of seconds to read. If I'm being generous, maybe half a second longer than if it had been written correctly, but that was partly because I was also registering that it was deliberate.

I can easily spare half a second without getting annoyed. Maybe it takes you quite some time longer to figure it out though.

Well neither does what you have just written...

I would love to know how “dissertation” works in your OP (it doesn’t)

Ah yes - "incase" was the other one I was trying to think of. And "everyday" appears on lots of signage which I see, er, every day.

It is a forum where people are using a phone, chill.

What kind of autocorrect contracts two words into one word that doesn't exist?

My processing is fine, thank you. Yes, I know we can still work out what is meant relative easily, but I think it's disingenuous to suggest that SPAG errors make no difference at all to comprehension. I certainly find they do when I'm reading a foreign language which I'm proficient at but not fluent.

did you post in AIBU rather than Pedants' Corner for the traffic?

Well I've explained and @AlisonDonut has explained, but you're obviously determined to disagree.

If you acknowledge that some people have problems for various reasons with SPaG, what are suggesting? That they don't post on MN?

but very unlikely to be downgraded in a dissertation for using the word eachother unless English

Everyday appears in the Oxford English Dictionary... 🤔

It's an adjective meaning ordinary, mundane, standard.

Every day, on the other hand is an adverb, meaning daily.

you didn’t explain

you defined
