1. Everything vs Every Thing
There is little, if any, difference in meaning between the two. 'Everything' is now the default spelling, but is seperated into two words when an adjective comes in the middle, e.g. every single thing.
2. Everybody vs Every Body
'Everybody' is an indefinite pronoun referring to every member of a group of people.
'Every body' is a noun phrase referring to every member of a group of bodies.
3. Every time vs Every Time
'Everytime' should be written as two desperate words: 'every time'. While some compound words like everywhere, everyday, and everyone have become commonplace in the English language, 'every time' is not considered an acceptable compound word.
4. Everyday vs Every Day
The one-word adjective 'everyday' means "commonplace, daily, or routine".
'Everday' as a noun refers to the mundane or the routine. 'Every day' as two words means "each day".
5. Everyone vs Every One
The pronoun 'everyone' may be replaced by 'everybody'. It is used to refer to all the people in a group. Written as two words, 'every one' emphasizes each individual who makes up a group, and it means 'each person'
6. Everywhere vs Every Where
'Everywhere' should not be written as two seperate words: 'every where'. It should be written as a compound word 'everywhere', meaning to, at or in all paces or the whole of a place.
e.g. John looked everywhere for his keys.
