- tempestn 9mo agoThat I don't know. I don't have an English or linguistics background myself, it's just a common mistake I've noticed. Ironically though, your reply has another similar one. You read books every day; reading books is an everyday activity for you.
- jraph 9mo agoSee also: - set up [1] (notice that it's a verb) - setup [2] (notice that it's a noun) - Phrasal verbs [3] Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's mostly stuff one needs to know by heart, but I think it's often that the noun is the one that is all in one word and the verb is the phrasal one (composed of "base" and the particle, in several words). Note: I'm not a native English speaker.

- stared 9mo agoAI chats are wonderful at that. Write a sentence and ask it it is correct, if it is idiomatic, and to explain rules behind it.

- nkrisc 9mo agoEssentially if you’re using it as a noun it’s “setup”, if you’re using it as a verb it’s “set up”.
