Vad som är korrekt svenska väcker stort engagemang, inte minst bland språkpoliser som gärna påpekar fel på sociala medier.
– De verkar finnas i alla åldersgrupper och särskrivningar är det de ogillar allra mest, säger Anna Heuman vid Örebro universitet.

2022 June 8, “Stavfel och särskrivningar får språkpoliser att se rött [Spelling errors and incorrectly writing as separate words make grammar police see red]”, in Forskning.se:

What is correct Swedish arouses great commitment, not least among grammar police who like to point out mistakes on social media.
– They seem to be found in all age groups and incorrectly writing as separate words is what they dislike the most, says Anna Heuman at Örebro University.

Vid tryckningen har den skillnaden gjorts att särskrivning har brukats i klassiska citat och hopskrivning i nylatinska texter.

1941, Jacob Wallenberg, edited by Nils Afzelius, Samlade skrifter II, page 548:

When printing, the distinction has been made that writing as separate words has been used in classical quotations and compound words in neo-Latin texts.

Angående avstavningen få vi påpeka, att något förslag angående denna sak icke av oss gjorts, och vi anse, att denna fråga liksom frågorna om språkriktighet, särskrivning och annat dylikt icke böra sammanblandas med frågan om ljudbeteckningen.

1886 January 26, J. A. Lyttkens, F. A. Wulff, “I rättstafningsfrågan. [Regarding the issue of orthography.]”, in Svenska Dagbladet (letter to the editor), page 3:

Regarding the hyphenation, we may point out that we have not made any proposal regarding this matter, and we believe that this question, like the questions about correctness of language, writing as separate words and such, should not be mixed up with the question of the sound designation.

(orthography) writing as separate words; where two words are written with a space in between them, especially if the words should be put together as a compound word.
