When I started working from home, the thing I looked forward to every day was sitting around in my everyday clothes and scratching my butt. Well, technically, that’s not true. I discovered quite quickly that I was at my most productive when I dressed for work, even when nobody was around to see me. I was less tempted to fall back into bed and drool the day away.
But I simply wanted to demonstrate the difference between “everyday” and “every day”. It’s staggeringly simple, but many people get it confused, even large corporations in their ads and publications. “We give quality service everyday!” I saw it on a billboard this week and my head steamed so badly my hair went straight.
“Everyday” —one word—means ordinary, blah, dull as dust.
“Every day”—two words—refers to the length of time determined by the solar cycle; the rising and setting of the sun.
Easy peasy. So even though my everyday wear consists of an old T-shirt, a saggy pair of men’s boxers, and a pair of flip-flops, every day God brings I open my eyes and give praise.
Excited to hear your point of view. Leave a comment below.
