"More useful everyday"

cdd · Tue 24 Feb, 2004 18.00

This has been bugging me for absolutely ages; the problem lies on many of the pages on MSN. Microsoft, everyday without a space is an adjective - as in "an everyday activity", whereas the form which is needed in that sentence is "every day".

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Can anyone think of any other good examples where text is written so wrongly?

....does anybody remember the ol' slogan "What are you going to do today?" That was great!

I used to keep writing alot instead of a lot, but tbh write everyday. After a while, two seperate words can become an entirely new single word in their own right.

Not forgetting 'You can fly', dropped September 11th 2001. Changed to 'Yes, you can' soon after.

I dont remember these , any pictures of them being used?

Of course Sept 11 also took that fab coffee advert where the annoying American gets ejected out of a plane.

Wasn't it "Where do you want to go today?" Cheese Head?

Anyone else constantly get on Hotmail that Pop Up which is entitled Halifax, that being the bank, but when you maximise it, it is MSN Dating for some reason?

Thankyou.

ARGH!

It's "Thank you".

TWO WORDS.

I'm reading "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss at the moment which includes the following example:

"Prudential - were here to help you."

Some more from Eats, Shoots and Leaves:

"Make our customer's live's easier" on an Abbey National ad.
