Is Each Other one word or two!
Lots of words start out as two and become one. Currently "eachother" would be considered to be two words, but maybe in time they will be one. "Today" used to be hyphenated as "to-day," which was probably a contraction of "to this day." Or take the days of the week: "Thursday" once was "Thor's day," now it's just hump day (or is it humpday?).

Riiiiight.  Next you'll be trying to tell us that the name of Monday is derived from Old English Mōnandæg and Middle English Monenday, which means "moon day."

To me, the question of writing words combined or separately is one of the most puzzling things in the English language (having practically no formal education in the language), and I quite often misunderstand sentences due to that. In Finnish it's an essential thing in avoiding misunderstandings and we have a lot of combined, long words, and thus very exact and unambiguous expression in general.
Maybe not as long and complicated as the German language, though. I remember how impressed I was seeing
a "Lebensmittelwissenschaftlerin" (nutrition scientist) interwieved in a german news bulletin, but I know that ain't the "worst".
Manic Street Preachers... are they manic streetpreachers or the preachers of Manic Street?
Pike perch, pike-perch or pikeperch? You can see all versions used.
Tontos Expanding Head Band was once hilarious to spot.

Some people believe that all *shoulds* are open to question, and are merely suggestions. Some people think everything *should* be how they want it. The truth is somewhere in between in the real world. Not, of course in academia. That's the one unfortunate by(-)product of the information age and the simulacrum: that all should's are just an opinion. No wonder the millenials are lame, they were all taught by BABY BOOMERS!

Actually, they were taught by hippies. The boomers have been working to pay for everything

What percentage of baby boomers weren't *hippies* do you think?! The government was busy killing off the non-hippies.
