“Make the most of everyday.”
That was the advice we found recently on a Dove chocolate wrapper. It’s a nice sentiment, but it should have read “Make the most of every day.”
The single word everyday is an adjective meaning ordinary or routine:
Stam chocolate is no everyday candy.
In all other uses, every day is two words:
Eating a little dark chocolate every day can be beneficial.
A chocolate vitamin chew starts every day on a delicious note.
