What is the difference between "Everyday" and "Every day"? Is "Everyday" an adjective?

When you intend to use either an adjective (for the most part this will come before a noun, as in everyday life ) or a noun that means "ordinary occasions," as in part of the everyday , the one-word version is correct. Adverbial uses, as in We should eat fruit every day , and the noun use that means "each day," as in Every day is different , call for the two-word version. Thus everyday in every way means "ordinary in all respects," whereas every day in every way means "daily and completely."

'everyday' implies commonality. Like. 'everyday people'. Normal, regular.

Every day implies regularity. 'I do it every day'.

However, I doubt sincerely many people care or notice.
