every one

== English == === Pronoun === every one Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see every,‎ one. Archaic form of everyone. ==== Usage notes ==== In contemporary standard spelling, everyone is used when it can be replaced with everybody, while every one is used when it can be replaced with each one. Most importantly, this means that everyone is only used of persons. The two-word form every one should still be used of persons when it refers separately to the members of a group specified in the context (as in the second example above), although this distinction is seldom relevant for the sense.
