“Everyday” is a perfectly good adjective

as in “I’m most comfortable in my everyday clothes.” 

The problem comes

when people turn the adverbial phrase “every day” into a single word.

It is incorrect to write “I take a shower everyday.” 

It should be “I take a shower every day.”

“Every time” is always two separate words.

1. 'everyday'

Everyday is an adjective

You use it to describe something that is normal 

and not exciting or unusual in any way.

...the everyday problems of living in the city.

Computers are a part of everyday life for most people.

 

2. 'every day'

Every day is an adverbial phrase

If something happens every day, it happens regularly each day.

Shanti asked the same question every day.

 

Dictionary.com:

EVERYDAY VS. EVERY DAY

What’s the difference between everyday and every day?

Everyday is most commonly used as an adjective 

meaning daily or, in a more figurative sense, ordinary

as in an everyday occurrence. 

 

The phrase every day means each day

it functions as an adverb 

to describe how frequently an action is done

as in I try to exercise every day. 

 

Think of it this way

everyday is used to describe nouns

while every day is used to describe verbs.

For example,

a person might aspire 

to go for a run every day

eat vegetables every day, and 

read every day

 

If they did these things every day (or most days), 

these activities would constitute part of their everyday routine.

 

If you can replace the term with regular or ordinary, use everyday

If you can replace it with each day, use every day.

Careful—the word daily can be used 

to replace both terms in certain situations 

(such as I exercise every day and This is one of my everyday exercises).

 

Here’s an example of everyday and every day 

used correctly in the same sentence.

Example

Every day this week I’ve tried to change one thing about my everyday routine.

Usage Notes

'Everyday' vs. 'Every Day'

Everyday words, confused every single day

What to Know

Compound words like everyday, sometimes, and anytime 

can be confusing in usage and spelling

Do you go to work every day or everyday

Do you drink tea in the afternoon or after noon

 

Often, the rule is that the closed versions of words function as adverbs

("come see us sometime") 

or adjectives ("an everyday occurrence"), 

while the words that appear separately 

or open are generally used as nouns 

("this might take some time," "I’ll see if I can find any more"). 

 

There are exceptions to this rule

as some compounds function both as nouns and adjectives 

and others have different meanings 

when closed vs. open (superhero and super hero).

 

We all make decisions about which words to use 

when we write every day.

 

In fact, you might call them everyday decisions.

It’s one of the maddening complexities of English 

that we easily agree to make compound words

words composed of other words mashed together

but we don’t agree on easy or even consistent 

guidelines for doing so: 

sometimes we write this sometime adjective,

when it’s used as a noun that expresses duration

as some time. 

Or we might writeCall me anytime at any time

And have afternoon tea, but only if it’s actually after noon.

 

How to Use Most Compound Words

There is, however, a hint of a method to this spelling madness. 

In cases like these, 

when words that seem to have competing forms 

appear sometimes closed or sometimes separately

the closed versions (those written as a single word

are words that describe or modify other words:

 

When the constituent words appear separately

these terms are nouns that are modified 

by the words that precede them (like someany, or every).

 

Exceptions to the Rule

This is pretty straightforward. 

Except, of course, for the exceptions (this being English).

Because there are also words like evergreen or thoroughbred 

that are closed, both as nouns and as adjectives.

 

And anywhere is written in the same form, 

whether as an adverb (“Go anywhere you like”) 

or as a noun (“Easy to find from anywhere”).

 

Or words like everybody and anyone 

which are closed as pronouns 

and not used as adjectives or adverbs.

Then, of course, 

there are compound nouns that have different meanings 

when closed or open. 

After all, superhero is often different from super hero. 

Underpants still should be worn under pants.

 

There’s even a sneaky category of words that behave like adjectives 

in some situations, like afternoon (as in “an afternoon nap”), 

even though they are technically nouns

When used this way, these nouns are called attributive,

because we never say afternoonest 

or claim that one hour is “more afternoon” than another.

 

So, despite the sometimes confusing 

pairings of altogether different words that are nevertheless 

spelled with the same letters

the simplest advice is: 

avoid confusing these everyday words every single day.

 

American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language:

eve·ry·place  (ĕv′rē-plās′)

adv. Informal

Everywhere.

Usage Note: 

The adverbial forms everyplace (or every place), 

anyplace (or any place), 

someplace (or some place), and no place 

are widely used in speech and informal writing 

as equivalents for everywhere, anywhere, somewhere, and nowhere. 

 

These usages may be well established

but they are not normally used in formal writing

However, 

when the two-word expressions 

every place, any place, some place, and no place 

are used to mean "every (any, some, no) spot or location," 

they are entirely appropriate at all levels of style.
