Ways to tell them apart:
- "Lifetime" is used as a single word when youre referring to the duration of a persons life or the lifespan of something.
- "Life time" as two words is less common and generally incorrect unless specifically referring to separate concepts of "life" and "time," which is rare and typically avoided.
- Think of "lifetime" as a unit of time or an adjective, while "life time" split into two words might appear more often in error or in specific rare contexts.
- Remember "lifetime" is often used to describe commitments or guarantees, like a lifetime warranty, which typically cannot be split.
- To prevent confusion, use "lifetime" in most contexts unless you have a specific reason to separate the words.
