正确说法

• 她平日极少在社交媒体上发帖，此次公开回应外界质疑的长文因此引发大量关注与广泛讨论。(She rarely posts on social media in her day-to-day life, so the lengthy public response she published addressing external criticism attracted considerable attention and wide-ranging discussion.)

错误说法

• 平日 means 'ordinary/usual days' and overlaps with 平时; in scheduling contexts 平日 (weekdays) contrasts with 节假日 (holidays) — do not use 平日 to mean 'all the time' the way 总是 or 一直 would
