I simply like to point out if those who value grammar so much were to spend 1/2 as much time researching the topics in which they speak as they do grading papers for grammar 'missed-steaks'
Apart:
: separated by an amount of space
: separated by an amount of time
: not together
A part:
: one of the pieces, sections, qualities, etc., that make or form something
: one of the pieces that are put together to form a machine
: one of the pieces or areas of the body of a plant or animal
I know you rail against using correct spelling, grammar, and syntax, but as you can see here, they are very important for communication.They would not have to default to pointing out grammar errors as their only means of trying to save face, or is their only involvement in a given topic?
That's interesting given your revulsion for admitting your own mistakes. Huh. Do you really not see how tough it is to communicate with you when you flout proper grammar, spelling, and syntax? "Apart" and "a part" have practically opposite meanings.
Also, just because people, or more specifically I, don't respond a lot to a topic isn't an indication they're not involved. There are a lot of people here who know more about history and geography than I do, and I'm reading what they write and learning stuff in the process, which is more than I can say for... well... you.
