English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)
EVERYONE or EVERY ONE?
Everyone is used when we mean to refer to a group of people collectively. It can be replaced by everybody:
Everyone is facing one challenge or the other; manage yours well. ✖️
Everyone is facing one challenge or the other; manage yours well. ✔️
Every one (written as two words) should be used when referring to each individual member of a group. Usually, it is followed by an “of” phrase:
I really must thank everyone of you for your support. ✖️
I really must thank every one of you for your support. ✔️
Everyone of you must pledge towards the success of the programme. ✖️
Every one of you must pledge towards the success of the programme. ✔️
