I get quite upset by the incorrect use of words and phrases in written English these days so I thought I'd try to do something to bring attention to the errors and possibly encourage people to raise their standards.
I'm not talking about changing to a more academic style of language but just cutting out the common errors that are increasingly creeping in.
The first example is the use of everyday in place of every day and vice versa.

Use Online Resources for Grammar and Spelling Help
If you are confused by English grammar and spelling, once you appreciate the importance of getting it right in published material, you will find there are endless resources available online to help you. If you are not sure about something, enter a Google search and you are sure to find the answer.
Some Tips:
To check the spelling or meaning of a word, just enter define: before the word in a Google search. For example define:compliment.
If you are not sure whether to use "compliment" or "complement", just search for "compliment or complement".
