Monday Muddle: every day, everyday

Monday Muddle

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

Monday Muddle

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

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.
