Monday Muddle: every day, everyday

Those who have been following me for a while might recognize this muddle. I’ve shared it before, but I thought it would be worth sharing again since I see this mistake so often. You might say that it’s an everyday occurrence.

Monday Muddle: every day: (quantifier + noun) each day; all days If putting "single" between "every" and "day" makes sense, you need a space. everyday: (adj) ordinary; routine; describes something that happens every day

Monday Muddle: compliment, complement

Here’s a trick to help you figure out which spelling you need. Complement, which means to complete, has the same first six letters as complete. Knowing that I should say nice things to people more often will help me remember that compliment has an i.

Monday Muddle: compliment: (n) an expression of praise, admiration or appreciation; (v) to give a compliment complement: (n) something that completes, makes whole, or brings to perfection; (v) to complete, make whole, or bring to perfection

Thursday Thought #MichaelBlouin

Michael Blouin thought about stopping, but he kept writing. Now his novel, Skin House, has been named the best in Canada by ReLit Awards, and a digital copy of it will be going to the moon later this year.
