| Hi! What's up? I have a doubt about this word. Should I write these words separated or together? Thank for the answers! |

It depends on the context.
"everybody" (one word) - every person; everyone; all the people (under consideration)
For instance:
Everybody in the family was at home that night.
Everybody was getting ready to leave work at 5:30.
Everybody was very busy that week.
BUT: Every body of water in that area is polluted. |

Most of the time, it will be written together:
"Everybody is different" = "all people are different"
"Every body is different" = "all bodies are different" |
