- I'm confused with the words anyday or any day, which is correct?
Is anyday a correct word? Or should I write it separately: any day?
Best answer
Any day is the more preferred when talking about a general time frame. Usually the term is used to describe something that is happening soon, as in the next couple of days, or any day. This is such an informal term that most dictionaries don’t list it as an actual term on its own. Unlike anytime, anyday has not made its way into dictionaries in any form. Argument could be made that if anytime is an adverb, then so is anyday. Like all informal slang, it is up to personal preference in informal works. However, until the time comes that it is included in a dictionary, it is best to keep the two words separate in formal works. For some, whether the writing is formal or informal.
Best answer
The simple present verb is SLIP. Normally, when we change a verb to the past tense, the simple past verb will have an "ED"added to it. BUT, because the word SLIP has only one (1) syllable, we double the last letter before adding the "ED". The same rule will apply for other one-syllable verbs such as: Stop - stopPED , Step - StepPED .

- is there abbreviation of the word foundation?
how to abbreviate or make the word foundation more short? thank youuuuu
Best answer
upon researching if there is such an abbreviation for fountain, there is none found. although it is a noun as well as an object, this particular 'thing' refers to a structure. yet, you may wonder why 'street', 'avenue' and 'boulevard' have abbreviations respectively as st, ave & blvd ... probably the words are easily recognized as to what the words represent.
