Incorrect spelling, explanation: this is an incorrect spelling due to a~THE fact, that as well is a phrase created from two words. As and well separately can be used in many different contexts but together they make a phrase with a specific meaning. Therefore it should be written down as well, not aswell.
Correct spelling, explanation: as well is a two-word phrase, which means it contains two separate words; in this case a preposition and an adverb; which combined together give us special meaning. This phrase is always written separately, that’s why aswell is a misspelling.
Definition of as well:
phrase, in addition; in the same manner as something else.

It’s the English language rules, not “because we said so” 😉
You used way too many words just to say “because I said so”

“Aswell” is a misspelling because “as well” is the correct phrase and it is two words not one hence it is spelt “as well” rather than “aswell”, the reason why “aswell” is incorrect is because the correct way to spell is “as well” which is two sperate words not one single word formed by the concatenation of “as” and “well” that is to say “aswell”. So in summary “aswell” is wrong because it is spelt wrong. Thank you for your time.
Ah yes I as well agree that this is definitely a thing that works
