Everyday

[BoxOfShapes]

I am noticing more and more that nobody seems to write "every day" anymore. They write "everyday" instead, seemingly unaware it is an adjective.

E.g. "Since isolation started, I've been going for a run everyday."

(Should be: "Since isolation started, I've been going for a run every day.")

Correct use of "everyday" would be, for instance:
"Bumping into a runner has become an everyday occurrence."

Anyone else noticing/annoyed by this?

I correct this at work ALL THE TIME. It drives me a little bit mad.
The supermarkets do it too:

Your everyday shopping
Here for you everyday

Ah yes, and I feel when supermarkets start doing it it's the beginning of the end!

Yes this is one I've noticed creeping in recently. I work in a school and am fed up with letters being sent home with statements such as - "The children are enjoying doing their tasks everyday". Grrrrr

You're quite right, of course, but it's not that surprising an error. I guess people see the word 'everyday' used in the correct context as an adjective, so assume that's the normal way to write it in every context. I can't say it's high on my (long) list of spelling and grammar bugbears tbh!

Do you mean any more? 🤣

SoupDragon Can't believe I didn't notice that in the OP! Apparently 'anymore' is allowed in American English though.

People are just joining words up willy nilly now:

eachother
lastnight
aswell
atall
atleast
alot
afew
abit

It kills me.

I am not American, and I am aware that anymore is an Americanism, but I have to admit, I use anymore and any more like this because I like the clarity:

Anymore = any longer (compound adverb) eg. Sadly, I do not go on holiday abroad anymore.

Any more = quantifiable amount more (determiner) eg. I couldn't agree with you any more.

I did have a little chuckle at an acquaintance, who is head of English in a high school, declaring that she, "couldn't love her child anymore."
I laughed both because a. It read in a way that implied she had ceased to love her own child, and b. I am a dickhead who can't focus on the content of prose when the writer repeatedly ends sentences with prepositions.
