everyday

This word carries a sense of utility and lack of pretension. It describes the mundane tools, clothes, or routines that form the background of a person's life, suggesting something that is durable enough for frequent use and unremarkable in its appearance. It is frequently confused with the phrase every day. While the adjective refers to the quality of being ordinary, the two-word adverbial phrase refers to the frequency of an action. Using the single-word form to describe a recurring event is a common modern error in casual writing.
