What about "everytime"? I keep getting corrected on this one. I mean, it makes sense. We got "sometime", but just not "everytime". Maybe it's not, but I think it should be, and if not, I apparently just never learned that it's a phrase and not a word in the past forty years, or maybe I just forgot, like it's a sign of getting older or something.
Every time I think I've heard everything strange about everyday English, I'm reminded that everywhere one looks, inconsistencies abound and everyone is in some way confused. It's understandable.
