Common errors in English:bailout / bail out

 bailout / bail out - Whether you are bailing out a rowboat or a bank, use the two-word spelling to describe the action of doing it (the verb form): “we need to bail out the boat before we can go fishing.”


But to label the activity itself (the noun form), use the one-word spelling: “this bailout is going to be expensive.”
