NEVER KNOWN

Dear Teachers,

1. I don't want to hear you say anymore baby! Let's break it off! and just think that we have never known each other, ok?

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

I think the "every day" vs. "everyday" and "sometime" vs "some time" vs "sometimes" are confusing for people. It's the same here.

I would say that 'everyday' is the one which causes the most problem. It is quite common to see 'everyday' spelled as one word all the time by many people. Even our posters are guilty of that.
