Everytime

Not a word. Nice journalism grad.

What is and is not a word? If it's being used by writers, and is understood by readers, it kinda is a word.

Linguistics is a desceiptive field, not a prescriptive one.

I thonk this one is pretty forgivable. Everytime should be a word imo. It has a lot more justification than some of the words that have recently been added and accepted into common use and vernacular. Everywhere, everyone, everyday, everybody are all words and set a hell of a precedent. How is everytime different, besides being a poster word for pedants to pick at.

I'm seeing very simple grammatical mistakes in articles more and more. It's bizarre. Even if the author makes a mistake, where are the editors? Do we have a shortage of English majors somehow?

It only matters that ads get impressions. That's it
