@mWare@ottawa.place never heard or see “eachother” and if I did , would assume typo.

@mWare@ottawa.place It's absolutely, always two words. The problem is, those two words are written "each other" but spoken "ee chother".

@mWare@ottawa.place growing up in AU I leaned to write it as "each other" but pronounce it as if they were smooshed together

@mWare@ottawa.place I’ve *never* seen this usage... Is it an age thing? People who grew up watching, rather than reading?

@mWare@ottawa.place Is this a regional thing somewhere in Canada? In my entire life in this country I’ve never seen “each other” compounded.
