"The modern iteration of the phenomenon generally approaches the concept differently, treating tulpas as permanent every-day companions, created to accompany hosts in their daily life."
- iteration: use a simpler word that all English speaking readers will understand to increase readability
- every-day does not have a dash. it's either "everyday" or "every day" depending on specific rules.
- "everyday" is an adjective (describes a noun) used to describe things that (1) occur every day, or (2) are ordinary or commonplace.
- "every day": the adjective (describes a noun) "every" modifies the noun (person, place, thing, or idea) "day".
- For example, every day you eat breakfast. You brush your teeth every day. Maybe you go for a walk every day. These are everyday activities.
- to find out which one to use, replace everyday/every day with "each day".
- If "each day" would make sense in its place, then you want the two-word form.
- Everyday, meanwhile, is synonymous with daily or ordinary
"The distinguishing factor that separates a tulpa from an imaginary friend, is the way in which the host experiences no sense of agency or sense of ownership over the thoughts and actions of the tulpa."
- you don't put commas where you pause in speech. this is a common misconception which makes people use excess and unneeded commas
