  • Spelling the word as three words—now a days—is incorrect.

Is nowadays proper English?

Yes, that's right: "nowadays" is technically correct, but colloquial. It is perfectly acceptable in oral speech, but it strikes the wrong tone in written English -- because it is so informal or colloquial.

Is now a days together or separate?

The correct word is "nowadays." "Nowdays" and "now a days" are errors (although the correct "nowadays" comes from a Middle English phrase that was written as two or three words.)
