EducationRe: 40 Incorrectly Used Words That Can Make You Look Dumb by natalyanders: 11:44pm On Jan 31, 2016
I would add misused words like maybe and may be, every and versus everyday, some time and sometime.
Maybe – perhaps or possibly (as in something might happen),
may be – has the ability to happen (as in implies something can happen).  

Every day – means each day individually,
everyday – (acts as an adjective) means: frequent or often.

Some time - an extended period of time. Here the word “time” acts as a noun and the word “some” acts as an adjective describing time. Sometime - at some unspecified point of time. Sometime is an adverb telling when.

If I have some doubts I use dictionaries(like http://www.dictionary.net/). Hope this helpful information...
