Alright or All right? Already or All ready? Altogether or All together? Everyday or Every day?

Some words in English have two different but similar spellings, and normally, they create some confusion among English learners since their meanings are different. Alright and all right, altogether and all together, already and all ready, and everyday and every day are examples of these words. Well, let’s see what each word means:

• Alright vs. All right

Although many people use alright, this word is still considered by many people to be wrong or less acceptable than all right. (All right, I’m not going to use alright.)

All right means agreement; reliable; good; acceptable (She is an all right girl.)

• Already vs. All ready

Already means before; previously (Mary has already drunk four beers.)

All ready means prepared (Everything is all ready for our party tomorrow.)

• Altogether vs. All together

Altogether means entirely; thoroughly (This article is altogether absurd.)

All together means as a group (Let’s go to the museum all together.)

• Everyday vs. Every day

Everyday means ordinary (She is wearing her everyday clothes.)

Every day means each day (I wake up at 10 every day.)
