everyday, every day

Do not confuse the single word everyday with the compound phrase every day.

The compound word everyday is an adjective meaning ordinary or common place.

Example: These are my everyday shoes.

The phrase every day, two words, means something that occurs daily.

Example: I wear these shoes every day.
