Sadly, this mistake is way too common. Most people don’t know that “everyday” and “every day” have different contextual uses. But they do. Here’s the deal:
Everyday is an adjective. It’s generally only appropriate to use the one-word version when it directly precedes the noun it modifies, as in “For most people, lunch is an everyday occurrence.”
Every day is an adverbial phrase. As an adverbial, it usually modifies the predicate of a sentence (instead of the subject), as in “Most people have lunch every day.”

Here’s the meme from Ironman Outdoors, with the problem all fixed:
